FAI refuses to respond to Keane accusations

THE FAI yesterday chose not to comment on the revelations and accusations in Roy Keane’s autobiography.

General secretary Brendan Menton was not available because he is on holiday and the association’s official line is “no comment” until the results of the independent inquiry into its World Cup arrangements are delivered.

Keane changed his mind about leaving the Irish training camp prior to the World Cup only to be sent home by manager Mick McCarthy within another two days. He was stridently critical of the manager and his preparations as well as the FAI arrangements.
