Dr. Una May:

I pride myself on being open and transparent but sometimes these are not matters for Sport Ireland and that is through an agreement between the Minister and the FAI. That is an important matter for the Minister to address. We receive guidance from the Department as to where it would like us to spend certain funds. Mostly, our funding is at our discretion as to where we spend it and the board overviews its distribution but that is an example of where we receive specific funding earmarked for a particular purpose and it is a matter for the Minister to decide if that funding is to continue. We have not yet received our budget for the coming years or paid it in 2023 but we await guidance as to whether there is a requirement to provide that funding.
