I propose to take Questions Nos. 43 and 75 together.
A number of meetings have taken place between the FAI and the Government to discuss possible use by the association of Campus and Stadium Ireland. The most recent of these meetings were held on 29 January with the treasurer of the FAI and on 23 February and 5 March with its president, chief executive and representatives of the officer board of the FAI.
At the meeting held on 23 February between the Taoiseach, the Minister for Finance, the Minister of State at the Office of Public Works, representatives of Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited representatives of the Football Association of Ireland and I, the Taoiseach outlined a Government proposal for detailed negotiations with the FAI on participating in Stadium Ireland and Sports Campus Ireland. The FAI representatives asked a series of specific questions on the proposal and related issues. The Taoiseach, other Ministers present and I responded to these queries and the Taoiseach undertook to have an expanded detailed proposal prepared for discussion at a further meeting between the two sides. This further meeting was held yesterday at which the Taoiseach expanded on the proposal which would form the basis for further detailed negotiation. The FAI agreed to respond to the Government urgently based on it communicating this proposal to its constituent organisations.
