Sport Ireland will appear before an Oireachtas Committee tomorrow.

Image: Niall Carson via PA Image: Niall Carson via PA SPORT IRELAND HAS said that the FAI has not sufficiently explained all the circumstances surrounding John Delaney’s €100k loan to the association in 2017.

Former FAI CEO John Delaney said he issued his employers a personal cheque worth €100,000 in April 2017 which he described as “a once-off bridging loan to the Association to aid a very short-term cash flow issue”, following media reports in the Sunday Times. He further addressed the loan in a second statement published by the FAI last week, in which he said he acted in the FAI’s best interests.

The opening statement to the Oireachtas reads: “Following media reports concerning a loan of €100,000 to the organisation by its now former Chief Executive, and at the request of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Shane Ross TD, Sport Ireland wrote to the President of the FAI on 19 March seeking urgent clarification from the Board of the FAI on the circumstances of the loan and its repayment.

Surely its CABs turn to question him.. oh wait hes above and beyond the law like his mentor Hickey

Should the law not step in at this stage something doesn't smell right. Maybe someone should ring FIFA and see what Sepp has to say or did Delaney vote for Sepp? Are sure it's only the FAI let's turn a blind eye and say noting and it will all be ok.
