The FAI's AGM, originally scheduled to take place on 25 July, has been pushed back to September later this year.
Roy Barrett, Independent Chairperson of the Board of the Football Association of Ireland, has today written to members of the Senior Council of the FAI and AGM members, informing them that the AGM of the Association has been moved.
The FAI said in a statement today that, “the AGM, originally scheduled to take place in Galway, has been rescheduled in line with COVID-19 restrictions and to allow for the newly appointed external auditors Grant Thornton to prepare accounts.”
In the letter from the Chairperson, council members have also been informed that the FAI is now seeking further financial assistance to ensure the continued viability of the Association. This support has been sought along with other national sporting organisations who have also been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
FAI Council members have been told an EGM will take place "in the near future" to vote on the required changes to the FAI Rule Book and Constitution as the FAI pushes on with governance reform.
This takes place one year after the July 2019 AGM was postponed, when the FAI were unable to furnish completed accounts for the 2018 season.
The reconvened AGM of 2019 took place in December, however, unlike AGM’s under the reign of former chief executive John Delaney, there was plenty of audience participation, with the role of auditors Deloitte a hot topic.
