Dr. Una May:

There are other organisations that have experienced difficulties with governance over the years, and Sport Ireland would generally withhold funding only if it reaches a difficult situation where we feel there is a necessity to have that additional stick, as in the carrot and stick approach. It does occasionally happen, but not very often. We tend to avoid it. The FAI situation was particularly bad and we had a significant role to play in the monitoring of the memorandum of understanding, MOU, between the FAI and the Government.
