FAI's need for Hill attendance was catalyst for payments controversy, statement claims

FAI chief executive Jonathan Hill during a press conference following the AGM of the FAI.

The FAI have informed an Oireachtas committee ahead of a hearing on Wednesday that Jonathan Hill carried over untaken holidays because his attendance was required during 2022.

Discrepancies in the chief executive’s remuneration – specifically payment for untaken holidays against company policy and unpaid benefit in kind tax on travel expenses – were uncovered by a Sport Ireland-commissioned audit over the summer.
