FAI backdown in Cup dispute???
FAI back down according to todays Examiner
Cup finalists win battle for royalties
Cork City and Longford Town have won their battle to hold onto their share of their royalties from TV revenue and ticket sales at this year's FAI Cup Final.
Represenatives of both clubs went to meet the domestic football committee in Dublin yesterday and were told in no uncertain terms to abide by what they had agreed to in Portmarnock in October. However, in a dramatic turnaround, both clubs were contacted by the FAI not long after the meeting and in reponse to Cork and Longford apparently holding their ground, decided to accede to their demands. A club source at Cork City expressed delight at what they termed a "victory against the FAI"

Date: Thursday, 15 November 2007
Section: FAI Ford Cup
The Football Association of Ireland wishes to refute the suggestion made in today’s edition of the Irish Examiner that it has agreed to withdraw the financial package put in place for the 2007 FAI Ford Cup Final. As far the Football Association of Ireland is concerned the financial package outlined to the four semi-finalists at a meeting on October 10 remains in place. The winners and runners-up of the competition will receive guaranteed payments of €100,000 and €75,000 respectively.

FAI stands firm on cup final cash row
by John Riordan
FAI Chiefs have rejected claims of a breakthrough in the impasse over cup final revenues with Cork City and Longford Town. Sources had indicated that Merrion Square was ready to accede to the clubs financial demands for a greater slice of the financial revenue from the December 2 decider but the FAI yesterday refuted there was any agreement to withdraw their stated financial package for the Cup Final.
"The financial package outlined to the four semi finalists at a meeting on October 10 remians in place. The winners and runners up of the competition will receive guaranteed payments of e100,000 and e75,000 respectively a spokesperson said.
Cork City last night insisted negotiations are "not concluded".
