Gardai are investigating threats made against FAI staff at their campus in West Dublin.
An email sent to staff last Friday confirmed that the organisation was “working in close partnership” with officers from Blanchardstown “in relation to a number of postal incidents”.
It is understood that threats were made in letters received last week after the FAI published revised accounts.
FAI interim executive lead Paul Cooke said that “certain safety measures in place purely as a precautionary mechanism”.
He added: “A number of our programmes may be disrupted over the coming weeks as we continue our risk assessment."
The FAI was expected to come before the Oireachtas sport committee tomorrow to discuss its financial and other issues but cancelled the appearance on Tuesday.
It said it made the decision as the board was focused on securing a restructuring package it hopes will “guarantee the future” of the association and “safeguard” its 200 employees.
An FAI statement said: “As key board members and senior executive staff are required at meetings vital to the financial restructuring and the appointment of an independent chairperson, it is not possible for the FAI to appear before the Oireachtas committee on this occasion.
“The board remains committed to appearing before the committee on a date when the appropriate representatives are available.”
