TAOISEACH Enda Kenny has said the €5 million payment the FAI received from FIFA is 'quite extraordinary'.
Kenny expects FAI chief executive John Delaney to make a detailed statement and he expects “full transparency and accountability”.
Minister for Sport Paschal Donohoe also commented about the situation. “I can assure you that I had no knowledge of this transaction,” Donohoe said. “I would be very surprised if any of my predecessors were aware of it ether.
“It is all for these reasons and it is in everybody’s interests that clarity be brought to these matters.
“I support John Delaney in his work... Alongside that matters which are important to the public are answered and dealt with in a comprehensive manner.”
