Sport Ireland will tell an Oireachtas committee on Wednesday that the FAI has not sufficiently explained the circumstances of a €100,000 loan given by John Delaney to the organisation in 2017. An opening statement to the committee from John Treacy, the chief executive of Sport Ireland, reveals that the FAI responded to a letter from the organisation which was sent after the loan was revealed in recent weeks. Sport Ireland has again written to the FAI “re-seeking clarification on the circumstances of this loan”. “More detail was also requested by Sport Ireland in order to assess compliance with the terms and conditions of grant approval. Mr Treacy’s opening statement also reveals that Sport Ireland last year raised questions with the FAI about their 2017 liquidity position.
