FAI saga may impact on Aviva Stadium board

Fallout from the FAI crisis has reached Lansdowne Road, with senior figures at the Aviva Stadium awaiting clarification from Abbotstown about the positions of John Delaney and Michael Cody on its Board of Directors.

The Irish Examiner has learned that the FAI informed senior management at the Aviva on Monday that Mr Cody had agreed to step down as Honorary Secretary, and that Mr Delaney had offered to step aside from performing the role of Executive Vice-President pending the completion of an independent investigation by the Association into issues of concern.
