The FAI spent €242,302 on PR and corporate advisory services from Teneo in 2024, nearly €100,000 above the projected budget at the year's start. The association paid Teneo €148,400 in 2023 despite an initial budget allowance of €90,000. The spending focused on third-party communications experts and has attracted scrutiny given the association's cash-strapped status. The overspend on external advisory and public relations services has prompted criticism and questions about financial priorities and budgetary controls within the organization.
