And so there was one more leak. On the day that was in it, there just had to be.

Just along the corridor from the Aviva Stadium suite where Roy Keane was holding court at his official book launch on Thursday afternoon, water could be seen trickling steadily from a light fixture and pooling on the carpeted floor.
