That is one of the challenges. I do not wish to reveal too much of what was presented to us as a confidential document on Monday, but it is not in a good place at all financially and significant assistance will be required to perform all of the ordinary tasks of a football association.

That is a matter for the FAI and its directors, but they will need serious financial support to function.
