Ross says FAI can't be allowed go into liquidation as Association issues formal apology

The Minister’s statement came after the FAI had issued a formal apology for what it termed “the mistakes of the past”.

Sports Minister Shane Ross has said that the government does not see either liquidation or examinership as “a viable option” for the FAI.

He was responding after delegates to Sunday’s reconvened AGM heard that liquidation was a possibility if the Association could not find an urgent solution to its current financial crisis.
