Patrick Nelson has lent his voice to calls for the release of the long-awaited sub-regional funding programme to football in Northern Ireland.
The Irish FA chief executive has also disputed Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey’s assertion that the fall of the power-sharing Executive at Stormont means the package has to be shelved.
Rather, Nelson claims a further delay or cancellation of the monies can only be agreed with the Executive’s approval, meaning the funding can - and should - be proceeded upon.
