FAI's decision not to appear before Oireachtas committee shows 'a major attitude issue', says Labour senator

The FAI has been roundly criticised for its 11th-hour decision not to attend tomorrow’s scheduled meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism, and Sport which had been arranged to discuss the perilous state of the Association’s finances.

The Association had indicated its willingness to appear before the Committee, even tweeting on Sunday night “that it remains available to meet” both the cross-party body and Sports Minister Shane Ross.
