Mr. David Courell:

The FAI is responsible for football in this country. However, the way we are structured, and that is what I was trying to outline, is that we are a company limited by guarantee. We have 37 affiliates, of which five are nationwide affiliates, be they provincial or, in this case, the SFA, which has responsibility for football up to the age of under 16. Each of those affiliates has a degree of autonomy, as the Deputy has outlined, but they do not work in isolation. As Mr. Hill pointed to, we are the largest participation sport in the country. We are wholly reliant on the goodwill of our volunteer teams across the country to deliver the game. On occasion, we will encounter governance challenges, as any organisation or sporting body will, but the FAI is available to support and guide those organisations whenever those instances arise.
