The FAI says recent comments it made did not accurately reflect the Board's level of awareness about the issue in 2017.

Committee chair Fergus O'Dowd says members will focus on governance at the FAI.

"Well, that's what our committee is about. To go into all of the issues in relation to the governance of the FAI," said Mr O'Dowd.

"It will be a fair, it will be a frank, it will be obviously a very robust debate."
