- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Emergency Accommodation (29 Feb 2024)

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: 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...
