Delaney: we won’t be over-run by Aviva debt

FAI chief executive John Delaney says he’s confident that the FAI can manage the debt arising out its estimated €74 million commitment to the building of the new Aviva Stadium.

Speaking on TV3, he said: “There’s going to be debt, no more than the IRFU are going to have debt, no more than Croke Park had debt.

“Anyone who thinks you can build a stadium without incurring debt – the thing is to be able to manage the debt. And we’ll be in a good position to manage that debt, I have no doubt about that.
