FAI chairman Roy Barrett has given his backing to beleaguered Ireland manager Stephen Kenny, insisting last night’s defeat to lowly Luxembourg was merely a set-back.

The senior team under Kenny’s watch have yet to win after 10 games, scoring just three goals, and all but out of World Cup qualification after their opening pair of matches.
