FAI Licensing

**Breifne** · 16/01/2006, 10:27 PM

Very little mention of the Licensing on here lately, the absolute deadlines for final submissions are this week, anyone have any details on how their clubs applications are faring out.

Ours should be passed, kinda lucky we are not in Whitehall, although we would have been okay in the end, it would have been a huge amount of extra work.

The process is confidential.

Why do you need to gatecrash it and attempt to find out unconfirmed information?

**pineapple stu** · 16/01/2006, 10:36 PM

Yeah, you could further embarrass the FAI by getting info which doesn't tally with the final licence awards!!!

**Student Mullet** · 16/01/2006, 10:44 PM

When are the final announcements?

**Red4Eva** · 16/01/2006, 10:47 PM

as long as we fill ours out in the right colour pen we should be ok

Is that not asking for trouble, getting the licensing results and deciding the league format all in one meeting? Surley a day or two after the licensing results would allow people to consider the implications of any surprises.

I see you managed to get the ideas of the FAI and "asking for trouble" into the one post. Well done. I'd say that took some thinking!

Yeah right, like there'll be any surprises... Status Quo maintained methinks

The first meeting of the first instance committee (who award the licence) is the day before the AGM, so i don't think the results will be published before the AGM either.

I am well aware the process is confidential, thats to protect the clubs who may be having problems in certain areas. We have no problem with our application at the moment, and are fairly comfortable that we will be awarded a licence at the first go, complete disasters aside.

If clubs wish to promote themselves and release details they are more than able to do so. Clubs who have all their business in order shouldn't have a problem with discussing the whole process.

i think the lack of enthusiasm this time round is the certaintly the FAIlure will fudge the issue on the grounds at least 10 clubs have no tax certs

I read (admittedly in the herald) that the requirement for an up to date tax cert has been removed. Mayby someone can confirm that.

If true, this is an outrageous slap in the face for clubs that run their affairs properly and pay their taxes properly.

Thats about the size of it ... what is the process in place for at all if it is only going to be a half-baked job.

Totally incorrect, don't know where they got one, the tax clearance cert is very much a big requirement of the application.

So are they going to publish the fixture list before the results of the licensing process is known?

Sat 28th January 2006: eircom League AGM, Kilmurry Lodge Hotel, Limerick

Mon 13th February 2006: Announcement of eircom League 2006 Season Fixtures

From fai.ie

The process for awarding Licences to eircom League clubs for the 2006 domestic season is well underway now with all twenty two applications currently being reviewed. Safety and infrastructure audits have taken place at every ground. The FAI Club Licensing Committee will meet in the week of 23rd January 2006 to consider clubs' licence applications with any appeals being determined in early February, thereby affording the eircom League sufficient time to prepare the fixture schedule for next season.

For a change we're one of the handful of clubs with nothing to worry about

**DvB** · 18/01/2006, 8:04 AM

I was of the impression that they had said somewhere along the line that last years TCC would suffice for this years licencing applications!? A bizarre state of affairs if true, though unsuprising considering the lack of enthusiasm to follow through on actually doing the thing properly, then again maybe they'll just sit around and wait for a club to come forward & offer the information that they dont comply with the licencing requirements
