Uefa’s finance director Josef Koller is being sent to Dublin to oversee all financial matters at the Football Association of Ireland. Five separate investigations are currently being carried out on the FAI relating to governance and finances. It is unclear yet how long Koller will be involved in assisting the FAI but is expected to last at least a number of months.
