The FAI, Sport Ireland and the Department of Sport have been invited to appear before the the Public Accounts Committee to discuss use of exchequer funding.

Breaches of remuneration limits for chief executive Jonathan Hill have already led to €6m of state funds being halted and the FAI’s hierarchy are already due to be grilled on December 13 by members of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport & Media.
