Ex-Ireland international Niall Quinn has insisted the complete removal of the FAI board is “not a silver bullet” and that more changes are needed before the soccer body is fully reformed. Speaking to reporters at a Leinster House event which took place less than 200 yards from the Oireachtas sports committee’s meeting with Sport Ireland, Mr Quinn described the FAI board removal as a “green light” for change. “The narrative now must change to rebuilding trust for all of the stakeholders,” said Mr Quinn. It is not as simple as removing the chief executive and the board. Mr Quinn made his comments at a Leinster House briefing titled ‘The Future of Irish Football’, which was organised by Labour senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin.
