The Football Association of Ireland has confirmed that Galway United have appealed the decision to deny them a licence to play in the Airtricity League.
Galway United were awarded a licence to play in the 'A' Championship after it was decided they did not provide security regarding the financial commitments outlined in their budget as presented as part of their licence application.
Following the announcement on Monday, Galway United confirmed that "the club will shortly be in possession of a Tax Clearance Certificate and are in the process of settling fully with one remaining football creditor."
The appeal will be heard on Friday morning and if the appeal fails Monaghan United will get a place in the Premier Division.

"Galway United FC has formally confirmed to the Football Association of Ireland that the club wishes to appeal the decision of the Club Licensing Committee to refuse them a League Licence.
The appeal will be heard on Friday morning. Further information will be available following the completion of the appeal process."
