The first in-depth look at the finances and corporate governance of the Football Association of Ireland has been delayed, The Irish Times has learned. The report, which was commissioned by Sport Ireland, had been due for submission to the body last week. At the urging of the Committee, KOSI were tasked by Sport Ireland with examining the FAI’s finances in forensic detail. Former FAI chief executive John Delaney’s departure from the FAI was confirmed in a late night statement on Saturday from his former employers. “Given the vital importance of this matter, this request for additional time has been granted by Sport Ireland,” the Sport Ireland letter states.
