New FAI president to be elected today

The FAI will today elect a new president at an EGM in Dublin. It’s a two-horse race to replace the outgoing Donal Conway, with board member Martin Heraghty and council member Gerry McAnaney the candidates contesting the election.

At the Association’s AGM in July, when Conway was re-elected as president, McAnaney lost out to Paul Cooke in the contest for vice president while, on the same day, Heraghty was elected to his place on the board.
