IFA failings costing clubs £4m, committee told

The continuing failure of the North's football governing body to reform its internal structures is depriving local clubs of a £4m (€4.78m) British government cash boost, a Stormont committee heard today.

Around half of an £8m (€9.56m) fund to develop the game has still not been paid out to the Irish Football Association five years since it was set up by Stormont ministers.
