"MISSING" IRELAND SHIRT.LET DOWN BY FAI

Possibly, but surely he's lost a lot of his time at this stage and a conclusion would be worth the money.

I don't think the cost would be prohibitive either.
Although, I obviously don't know, nor is it any of my business, what the OPs means are.

I had to get some legal advice about a year ago and the consultation was E50 for half an hour. I had my questions all written out and took full advantage!
Solicitors around larger cities may be more expensive but hopefully under E100 for a similar consultation.

Also, I'd doubt any solicitor would advise court action or anything like that over a lost jersey. Small claims court possibly?

The point of seeing the solicitor would be seeing what the options are and looking to put the saga to bed one way or another.

Like any Irish fan i guess i just wanted my support to have been given some consideration by the FAI when this situation arose. Of course on the bigger scheme of things the FAI have much more challenging issues to tackle, but i felt that one well placed phonecall/email would have solved this but for some reason it was never made. Thats support as it should be. Or so i am told.

Are you prepared to draw a line under it or pursue a civil case/legal action with the help of a solicitor?
If I was you I wouldn't make any more contact with the FAI.
You were passed around from suit to suit there. In hindsight you shouldve stopped when the second fella made no head way.

Is this not a case of theft, plain and simple? You left property with someone else to have a service performed on it. It has since disappeared.

By comparison, if I left my car into the mechanics, only to come back later for them to say they don't know where it is, I'd be onto the cops.

Is there a real difference between these two cases?

I think with the history of the way fai has treated fans this is one that will be just forgotten by them and they won't give a sh@t if you miss games , they should be encouraging your hobby and helping out in any way but that would be too sensible and obvious. Get your ticket back and join the long list of unhappy fans hoping one day there be a change from the top down. I gave up ST and regretted it and ended costing double buying tickets per game.
