The Football Association of Ireland receives funding from my Department under the Young Peoples Facilities and Services Fund Rounds 1 and 2.
The Young Peoples Facilities and Services Fund Rounds 1 and 2 was established by the Government in 1998 to assist in the development of preventative strategies in a targeted manner through the development of youth facilities, including sports and recreational facilities, and services in disadvantaged areas where a significant drug problem exists or has the potential to develop
The following table details the funding made by my Department under the Young Peoples Facilities and Services Fund Rounds 1 and 2 from 1 January 2008 to 2017 and to date in 2018. The purpose of the funding is also given in the table.
The FAI is required to supply my Department, on an annual basis, audited accounts and annual progress reports.
