Shane Ross: 'We don't trust the FAI, we don't trust them with the money... it's a basket case'

Image: Eamonn Farrell/RollingNews.ie Image: Eamonn Farrell/RollingNews.ie SPORTS MINISTER SHANE Ross has said the government does not currently trust the Football Association of Ireland with funding.

“We must be absolutely certain that we don’t give money to an organisation which is in tatters. And the FAI is, and I think everybody would agree. It’s a basket case, a financial basket case,” Ross said, adding that the extent of the FAI’s debt is still uncertain. Ross said he does not want to appear until further progress is made on his plan to restore funding to the game’s grassroots.

The Committee have invited all eight members of the FAI board to the meeting, although none are compelled to attend. The FAI have yet to confirm their line-up for the meeting, and Committee sources have attached particular emphasis to the presence of outgoing president Donal Conway and John Earley, the only remaining board members from John Delaney’s tenure as CEO.

Hilarious Shane_RossTD comes out with this now that it's all gone pear shaped. He was best mates with Delaney when he was there. Nothing but spin doctors in the dail.

But anything I’d ssy....

And we don’t trust you politicians with our money either. So can we withhold on paying our taxes as a consequence ?

And what in the blue blazes fuck were you doing as the Minister for Sport when all this was going on?

Shocking it is... Who's going to pay John delays rent now poor devil be forced to move into a 6 bed apartment now... Shocking it is

There is no such thing as government money.

Good on you Mr Ross and I hope you have the conviction to go all the way as you’re really taking on EUFA and FIFA inevitably as Delaney was just one of the global cronies running football.

Government money OR taxpayers money What is government money?

Shane_RossTD yet you won't attend FAI meeting on Wednesday What a joke

how untrustworthy do you have to be for even Shane posh snake Ross to not trust you
