FAI chief executive David Courell has given his backing to director of football John Martin, who has come under scrutiny in recent days due to issues arising during his time as CEO of Shamrock Rovers.
The Sunday Times reported that a complaint was made by the mother of Shamrock Rovers' teenage striker Michael Noonan to the English FA in regard to agent agreements.
Rovers then confirmed that they are working with FIFA to review two agreements.
A statement from the club read: "We would like to clarify that the club is not the subject of investigation from any of the FA, FAI or FIFA.
"The club is, however, working with FIFA to review two agency agreements. The process with FIFA is ongoing and the FAI has been notified.
"The club’s relationship with the player and his family has always been and continues to be extremely strong."
Martin, who was in situ with Rovers during the time that those agreements were made, is now in the spotlight but Courell insists he has faith in the FAI director of football and that the organisation are fully supportive of him.
Speaking to RTÉ, he said: "I can only judge John on how he has carried himself in the role as director of football when he joined us in September and became an employee of the association.
"I think he's been fantastic for all the reasons why we appointed him, his leadership skills, his understanding of the landscape, his stakeholder management skills, his vision for the game. He’s been really strong.
"I've obviously, as you would expect, had conversations with John on this topic, and I'm satisfied that John operated in good faith, and we are supportive of John in his position as director of football."
Courell does not believe that the complaint that has been made to the English FA or the FIFA review are currently issues for the FAI to deal with.
He said: "As we confirmed, there has been a complaint made regarding the agent representative for the player, and that is under review by FIFA as things stand.
"From an association perspective, it's a matter for the club, the agent and the player to navigate, and I hope in the interest of the players in question that it is resolved as swiftly as possible."
