A STATEMENT by embattled FAI CEO Jonathan Hill - in which he admits payments to him of €12,000 were wrong - has opened up a series of further financial questions for the organisation.

Hill finally apologised for the growing scandal as the FAI revealed that its surplus had almost halved from last year, going from €6.7m to €3.5m for the latest term.
