While Shane Ross earlier this week said the government will not bail the FAI out, the minister described a meeting with Uefa over the situation yesterday as “constructive”, adding he believes they are on a “pathway to a possible solution”. “The discussions were positive, and reassurance was given to us that all the stakeholders, including the banks, Uefa and the Government, are committed to protecting the association.
Siptu services organiser Teresa Hannick added: “Salaries will be paid in January for the staff and we are optimistic that a resolution can be found to this crisis which will protect our members and football in Ireland into the future.”
