FAI Opens Voluntary Redundancy Programme in Major Restructuring

FAI cites UEFA benchmarking plus consultancy analysis that highlighted skills gaps, prompting changes to modernise operations for greater sustainability.

Overview

  • The board approved a significant transformation on 27 August with an organisation-wide voluntary redundancy scheme launching immediately.
  • Management will review uptake, pursue redeployment, then determine any compulsory redundancies that may be required.
  • No target numbers or exit terms were disclosed, and the association says it employs about 230 people.
  • The plan follows research that identified framework and specialist skill gaps, including those needed to deliver the FAI Football Pathways Plan.
  • SIPTU has been engaged in discussions, and staff received a briefing on Wednesday as the process begins.
