We asked for this information previously. That request stands and we will come looking for it again. It is important that we get it when we ask. We do not ask lightly; we ask for a reason.

We made another request but did not receive the relevant details. I thank Mr. Ó Lionáin for providing an overview from the Department’s point of view. The FAI has outlined a considerable capital request for the future, but we were looking for details on what efforts had been made to avail of the current round of the sports capital and equipment programme. Historically, FAI-affiliated clubs have been poor at applying, which is reflected in their outcomes versus those of other organisations. One cannot grant what is not applied for. We asked for those details prior to this meeting but did not receive them. Is there a reason for that? Can anyone tell me why we did not receive them? Perhaps the CEO will be able to explain.
