The FAI paid public relations and corporate advisory firm Teneo €242,302 for services in 2024, nearly €100,000 more than the projected spend at the start of the year. The association allocated significant funds to third-party communications experts despite constrained finances. Teneo received €148,400 in 2023 while the budget allowed for €90,000, representing a substantial overspend the prior year as well. The spending pattern indicates repeated budget overruns on non-football communications and advisory services. The scale of these payments has drawn scrutiny given the association's cash-strapped status.
