'No disrespect was intended': FAI bow to funding pressure by confirming Oireachtas visit

The Association previously withdrew from a Leinster House hearing with five days’ notice.

FAI chief David Courell will tell lawmakers that he 'would like to reassure the committee that no disrespect was intended'.

There’s been another twist in the FAI’s ongoing Oireachtas committee battle with the delegation confirming their attendance at Wednesday’s scheduled meeting in Kildare Street.

The embattled football body on Friday shifted from their initial indication by withdrawing from the hearing with five days’ notice after “doubting the committee’s intentions”.
