We spoke earlier about the CEO of the FAI and what would seem to be an extraordinarily generous wage given the international status or position of the national team plus unknown expenses. What does Mr. Treacy think about the salary of the manager of the national team?

That is disproportionately high in comparison with managers of national teams of a similar-size. It was part-funded, as Mr. Treacy knows, by a very wealthy person to the tune of €10 million for the FAI over years, at a time when the pay of other staff was cut. Mr. Treacy may not have the power to do anything but does he not think he should have asked questions about those issues over the years?
