Jonathan Hill is confident that documentary evidence furnished ahead of the FAI’s visit to the Public Accounts Committee in February will verify his claims around an overpayment he’s since repaid.

Discrepancies in the chief executive’s remuneration – specifically a returned €12,000 payment for 12 untaken holidays against company policy and unpaid benefit in kind tax on travel expenses of €8,500 – were uncovered during an audit by Newry-based firm KOSI commissioned by Government agency Sport Ireland.
