FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding
9:30 am
Mr. Jonathan Hill:
I suggest that on the Deputy's original point, we have done a very good job in relation to it. The whole team in the FAI - not just the people at grassroots level running clubs - have contributed to that development. It is really important to state that the FAI staff who came out of the process in 2019 did not know about anything about what was happening with the FAI's finances. People in this room did not know exactly what was happening either. It is a real testimony to them as individuals that they have gone about their jobs in the way they have and I would like to recognise that contribution.
