FAI must remember the taxpayer, says Harney
The Tanaiste is insisting that soccer matches should not be confined to Sky television. Mary Harney said that it could not be expected for the Government to bail out FAI every time they are in need of money.
She remarked that this was particularly so when taxpayers were not able to watch football games on their own television station. The Tanaiste claims that the Government now has options to guarantee that Irish home internationals remain on terrestrial television.
