Speaking today after a week in which Mr Delaney refused to answer questions at an Oireachtas committee about the loan, Mr Varadkar said “I don’t think anyone would be satisfied by it”. “The truth is that he was within his legal rights not to answer those questions. The board of Sport Ireland this week made the decision to suspend and withhold future funding to the FAI. “In terms of John Delaney, the FAI is not a public body – it is a private organisation or company. “But they [the ODCE and Sport Ireland] have questions to ask and John Delaney and the [FAI]board will have to answer them.”
