Sport Ireland not certain FAI is solvent, says Treacy

The organisation responsible for the development of sport in Ireland said it cannot give assurances that the FAI is solvent, and that it would expect football’s international governing bodies to “bail out” the association if it were to go into liquidation.

Sport Ireland’s CEO John Treacy was speaking at the Oireachtas committee on transport, tourism and sport, where he said the body supports Sports Minister Shane Ross’s calls for FAI president Donal Conway to stand down.
