The FAI will resume its AGM today.

Sports Minister Shane Ross

In July, the Annual General Meeting was adjourned because the association was not in a position to present its accounts to delegates.

The FAI in the midst of a financial crisis with current net liabilities of over €55m.

Government funding to the organisation remains suspended following revelations of a €100,000 “bridging loan” by its then chief executive John Delaney to the FAI in 2017.

Earlier this month, the FAI requested a financial rescue package of €18m from the Government which was rejected out of hand. Sports Minister Shane Ross described the request as “shocking”.

Today’s AGM is due to begin at noon.
