The former chief executive of the FAI John Delaney will appear before the Oireachtas this morning.
Senior officials from the association will answer questions on an €100,000 loan Mr Delaney handed the association.
The association’s president Donal Conway will tell TDs and Senators that it broke State funding rules by failing to tell Sport Ireland about the loan or any “material deterioration” in the FAIs finances.
Yesterday, Sport Ireland announced its decision to temporarily 'suspend and withhold' future funding to the FAI until the association can prove it is compliant with its funding rules.

Almost 20,000 reports of domestic violence against women and children were made to Women's Aid last year.
The organisation's annual report shows one-in-four women who contacted them were experiencing abuse from an ex-husband or partner.
The report reveals the wide-range of abuse faced by women around the country, including financial abuse, with partners running up debt in women’s names and controlling women’s income.
It also highlights children’s experiences of domestic abuse – and calls for Government action to tackle the problem.

The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is travelling to Brussels today for a crucial summit of EU leaders on Brexit.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has requested an extension of the Brexit process until June 30th – however she is likely to be offered a much longer delay.
In a letter to the remaining EU27 last night EU Council President Donald Tusk warned there was "little reason to believe" the UK Parliament will pass the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement by the end of June.
Under his plan, the UK would be free to cut the process short if politicians in Westminster can agree a way forward.

A new survey has found almost half of Irish businesses are already experiencing the negative impacts of Brexit.
The AIB Brexit Sentiment Index for the first quarter of 2019 shows tourism, retail and food and drink are the sectors worst hit.
Just two thirds of SMEs have begun some form of planning for Brexit – a week after the UK was originally due to leave.
Over half are reviewing, postponing or cancelling previous plans to invest.

Benjamin Netanyahu looks set to win a record fifth term as Israel’s prime minister.
Exit polls and partial results in the country's hotly-contested election show Mr Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party in a dead heat with centrist Benny Gantz, his main competitor.
It puts him in a strong position to form a coalition government and serve his fourth term in a row as prime minister – his fifth overall.
It will serve as a welcome boost to a leader who is facing criminal charges in a series of corruption scandals.
