Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Football Association of Ireland's Facility Investment Vision and Strategy, and Governance Issues: Discussion
Mr. Jonathan Hill:
We have engaged in particular with a wide range of TDs, Senators, the Department and senior Ministers on the genesis of the overall investment case. We will drive forward in 2024. We have just appointed the head of our Irish investment facility fund. That individual has actually started.
In 2024, his focus will be to set up the fund and begin those conversations with a range of people, both within the Government and within football. We have not mentioned our interaction with UEFA and FIFA yet in terms of their support for us, but it is also in some of the other areas Mr. McDermott has spoken to in terms of health and education.
