Good morning to the witnesses. I want to touch on the issue of boycotts, which has received considerable attention over the past while. A decision was taken in 2022 to boycott games or sports events against Russia and Belarus. A subsequent decision was taken by UEFA in September 2023 to lift the ban for underage soccer. I note that the FAI issued a statement on the decision. What is the view of the FAI on lifting of the ban by UEFA for underage games?
