Colin Healy has escalated his grievance with the FAI over their handling of his exit to President Paul Cooke and the association’s board.

Ireland’s December Women’s Euro playoff defeat to Wales prompted the FAI not to renew the contracts of manager Eileen Gleeson and her assistant Healy but controversy has since erupted over the chain of events before and after the axing eight days on from the second leg.
