Former FAI general manager Noel Mooney says the "time is right" for the UK and Irish to mount a bid to host the 2030 World Cup.

The Limerickman recently joined the Welsh FA in July as their chief executive after spending 10 years at Uefa where he worked with all 55 European federations in his role as head of strategic development.
