As I said in my reply to questions in the Dáil on 6 March, the Taoiseach, the Minister for Finance, the Minister of State at the Office of Public Works and I met the Football Association of Ireland on 23 February. At that meeting a Government proposal for detailed negotiations with the FAI on its participation in Sports Campus Ireland and Stadium Ireland was outlined and confirmed by letter of 6 March 2001.
Negotiations will take place to finalise the formal agreement with the FAI on the use of Sports Campus Ireland and Stadium Ireland after which I will be in a position to brief the House.
