FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: Good morning to the witnesses. I want to touch on the issue of boycotts, which has received considerable attention over the past while. A decision was taken in 2022 to boycott games or sports events against Russia and Belarus. A subsequent decision was taken by UEFA in September 2023 to lift the ban for underage soccer. I note that the FAI issued a statement on the decision. What is the...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: Essentially, a political decision was taken based on the breach of international law with the illegal invasion by Russia of Ukraine.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: The illegal invasion by Russia of Ukraine was and still is appalling and must be condemned, so a decision was taken in that regard. In tomorrow’s game, Ireland’s under-17s women’s team will play Israel in Albania. What is the view on that game going ahead?

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: UEFA decided last September to reverse the ban, but the FAI said that it wanted to maintain the position, such was the seriousness of the breach of international law by Russia. UEFA took a decision on reversing the ban and the FAI took a decision outside of that, so the FAI went out on its own. Is there a level of hypocrisy in the FAI’s position? It has rightly taken a stand on...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: The FAI does not believe that Israel, which has butchered 30,000 men, women and children and breached international law, falls into the same category as the breach of international law by Russia.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: There is a level of hypocrisy in supporting a boycott of Russia but being happy to play against Israel, which, as we sit here, continues to destroy Gaza and kill men, women and children. The FAI has not voiced any concerns to either of the bodies.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: The recent basketball match with Israel received considerable focus. It should not have gone ahead. In 2022, Basketball Ireland’s CEO stated that Basketball Ireland "would not fulfil its Women's EuroBasket 2023 qualifier against Belarus ... due to their support of Russia and the ongoing war in Ukraine" and “Our stance was supported by ... Sport Ireland”. Is Dr. May...

What it will do is destroy our women’s international game for the next ten years.” There seems to be a large amount of hypocrisy in the positions being adopted. While the Government provided some guidelines in respect of Russia, and rightly so,...
