FAI propose splitting association in two

A plan to split the FAI in two is to be put to the Government. The proposal, which was devised by FAI staff members, suggests that the state would fund a new body that would solely govern grassroots and community football. The FAI would continue to look after the international representative teams and elite football. The plan suggests that the Government would provide €10m each year to fund development officers and coaches at youth level while the FAI would fund itself through commercial deals. Shane Ross Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport talked to us this morning
