FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: ...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) Mr. Jonathan Hill: The fundamental difference in the two situations is that UEFA, as the governing body, has not taken any position or applied a sanction in respect of Israel. We are following the advice of UEFA and talking to the Government accordingly. The board has taken a position on that, and I am happy to let Mr. Cooke, as president, address the issue, if he so wishes.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Mr. Paul Cooke: To follow on from Mr. Hill’s point, we have been consistent. UEFA is allowing games against Israel. We are a member of UEFA and we abide by its rules and regulations. We support-----

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) John Brady: ...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 Russia and Belarus but has not taken a stand on Israel’s breach of international law.

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...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) ...ministers to declare a position against Russia. That is the position that we have upheld.

Regarding Israel, there has not been a unanimous or majority suggestion in the same way as we had for Russia, where we saw a consistent approach across the board. Our Minister took the views of all the other...
