Sport Ireland and Minister for Sport Shane Ross has sent a special audit report on the financial scandal at the FAI to Gardaí.
The dossier was completed by consultants KOSI and sent to the national sporting body.
Minister for Sport, Shane Ross, received a copy of the report too but a department source said he is not going to comment any more on it as it now could become a criminal matter.
Mr Ross said he is not able to publish the report at this point.
The probe was commissioned after a string of
irregularities in the finances of the soccer governing body.
The chain of events was sparked by a E100,000 bridging loan which former FAI Chief Executive John Delaney gave to the organisation in 2017.
Delaney later said he was repaid in full two months later - but had gone to the High Court trying to prevent a Sunday newspaper revealing the payment.
He stepped down shortly after some of the revelations and funding from Government has been suspended pending the outcome of the report.
Mr Delaney served as CEO of the FAI from 2005 to March 2019 before becoming Executive Vice President in March.
He left that role in September.
Speaking after stepping down as CEO, Delaney said: “This past fortnight has been very difficult for me on a personal and professional level and I would like to thank the Board and my work colleagues across the FAI for their support.
“In recent days I have received many messages of support from the family of football, from many of the 2,000 clubs I have visited in my role as CEO and from the world of politics and sport which I am grateful for.
“It has been my absolute pleasure and privilege to have served the Football Association of Ireland as CEO since 2005.”
Since April, a number of investigations have been launched into the financial affairs of the FAI, including the KOSI audit.
Among the concerns are that the 51 year old CEO failed to use his credit card properly, failed to control his personal expenses and made a series of payments from FAI funds that were not in the ordinary course of FAI business.
