Government and Uefa agreed 'in principle' to share burden of solving FAI's huge debt
Sports Minister Shane Ross has given the strongest indication yet that the government and Uefa are willing to jointly bail out the FAI from their parlous €60m-plus debt.
A series of meetings took place between all stakeholders last week. Among those involved were the new FAI chairman Roy Barrett, the minister, a four-strong Uefa delegation (including its general secretary Theodore Theodoridis and financial secretary Josef Koller), and the Bank of Ireland.
