To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will outline his contact with the Professional Footballers' Association of Ireland and his views on the future and sustainability of professional football in Ireland, particularly with reference to the wage level of League of Ireland footballers, and funding provided to the Football Association of Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have had no contacts with the Professional Footballers Association of Ireland. The development of professional football in Ireland is a matter for the Football Association of Ireland (FAI). The FAI is an independent, autonomous body and I have no role in its operational matters.
