Ex-FAI boss John Delaney’s stone-walling of Oireachtas committees will not be allowed “happen again” under new rules being prepared by authorities, Dáil chairman Seán Ó Fearghaíl has said. In an interview with the Irish Examiner, Mr Ó Fearghaíl said the Delaney incident was “unfortunate but predictable”. “It is understandable that, in the immediate aftermath of a Supreme Court judgment, there would be some concern and uncertainty,” he said. “The Supreme Court was very explicit, it was the fault of the House, the 158 members of the Dáil share the blame for that. “The Supreme Court found that in this instance that we were not, that we trampled on the rights of a citizen, that we acted outside the law and that we were wrong.
