We met a couple of times to discuss it and go through it thoroughly. We have committed almost €1 million towards an overall audit of where things are at the moment. That will inform how we go forward. That work is ongoing. Auditors were appointed and are engaging with clubs and the FAI across the country to get a full assessment of the current situation. There is undoubtedly a need, particularly post Brexit where young footballers are not able to go abroad any more until they turn 18. How that need is served will require further consideration and will also be informed by the audit.
