I refer to FIFA and UEFA. Mr. Delaney is the executive vice president of the FAI with responsibility for FIFA and UEFA matters. FIFA certainly has not been the most open group. Sepp Blatter was the general secretary since 1981 and president since 1998. He has been suspended since 2015 for corruption and financial mismanagement and he has been ejected from office for eight years. How different has the FAI been from FIFA in the past few years? I would put this question to a lot of the football associations around, not just to the FAI.
