FAI ‘must do more’ if funding is to be restored

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said “more needs to be done” by the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) if state funding is to be restored, despite former CEO John Delaney’s resignation on Saturday night.

Speaking exclusively to the Irish Examiner, Mr Varadkar said in his view the Delaney resignation, complete with an exit package of up to €500,000, will “help the organisation move on” from its recent troubled past.
