Shane Ross: FAI should 'reconsider' appointment of Noel Mooney

Minister of Sport Shane Ross has called on the FAI to reconsider their appointment of UEFA’s Noel Mooney to lead the organisation for the next six months.

Speaking ahead of today’s Irish Football Stakeholder Forum in the Mansion House, the Minister said: “I’ve spoken to the FAI. We had a meeting, Mr (Brendan) Griffin and I, with the FAI last week and we asked them to reconsider. I hope that they are reconsidering that at the moment because it would fracture relations further if they did take a step back.
