Former FAI critic Caroline Rhatigan is firmly in contention to join the FAI board, succeeding Dick Shakespeare as the national league’s director at the top table.

UCD stalwart Shakespeare confirmed he would not be looking to extend his three-year stint on 12-person board at the upcoming reconvened AGM on December 15, creating immediate interest elsewhere in the vacancy.
