It states: “At that point it is the intention that the existing board will step down.”
Minister for Sport, Shane Ross, said: “It is clearly time for regime change.
Mr Ross added: “There will be no further Government funding until I am satisfied with the measures put in place.”
He said this means that the millions due from Sport Ireland and from his department for building pitches and clubhouses is being held back.
Committee chairman Fergus O’Dowd, Fine Gael, has welcomed the announcement.
“I welcome the proposed change in regime at board level, it’s really important, that’s very positive news.”
