Jonathan Hill admits he realises why he could be labelled as ‘greedy’ for taking payment from the FAI against company policy.

The chief executive had to recently repay €12,000 worth of untaken holidays and €8,500 benefit in kind (BIK) tax liability after a Sports-Ireland commissioned audit by KOSI uncovered discrepancies in his remuneration package.
