Minister for Sport Shane Ross has said that the Government won't restore funding to the FAI until details of any severance payment made by the FAI to departed CEO John Delaney have been made public.
Mr Ross, who admitted that a 'dark cloud still looms' over the Association, has said that the Government are seeking to know the extent of any financial agreement made with Mr Delaney.
He told RTE News: ""The FAI is continuing again to shrowd these contracts in mystery, we have an interest in that.
"I think it's absurd after all the controversy that we shouldn't know exactly what the pay-off is."
And he also wanted to see considerable governance reforms from the ground up so that the 'old regime' would be "renewed in its entirety."
"It’s not good enough to chop off one head and save the rest of them," he added. "We've got to see root and branch reform."
He went on to say that the public must be assured that "large sums were not being paid unnecessarily" to restore confidence in the Associate.
Three reports that have been commissioned into the financial affairs of the FAI are still being waited on, with the first expected to be published in just over a week’s time.
