A high-level UEFA delegation will arrive in Dublin today for talks with the FAI and the Government over Irish football's financial woes.

It is hoped that a deal can be struck by all parties to honour the €29 million commitment to Bank of Ireland on the Aviva Stadium.

The FAI have asked for €18 million from the Government to deal with their current financial predicament.

Officials travelling to Dublin for the meeting with Shane Ross include UEFA's General Secretary and its Financial Director.
