Mr. John Delaney:

The answer to that is “No”. The president is quite right that a number of months ago we would have discussed the time constraints and the amount of time I have had to spend doing effectively three roles. As Deputy Troy stated, every weekend I would go to grassroots functions, visiting over 2,000 clubs in a period. Second, I was trying to manage a business which has a turnover of almost €50 million and 205 full-time staff. Third, I was on the board of UEFA and managing specific projects that were outlined by both the president and me. My role now is as a member of the board of UEFA but also to manage the specific projects we have outlined. I will be able to use my strengths in those specific roles to, hopefully, bring big tournaments to Ireland, bring more funding back to the FAI for grassroots as well as for the running of the game as well.
