Mr. John Delaney:

I refer Deputy Coppinger to my statement. I said I was truly saddened and expressed serious concern when this matter was brought to my attention. I also made the point that the act of putting the money in, which I did, was in the best interests of football. I was embarrassed by it, obviously. That is all in my statement. That is how seriously I saw what happened two years ago.

On my salary, I am an employee of the FAI. It has paid my salary during my journey. I now hold a different position. I am no longer CEO. I would like to think that during my term as CEO, much additional sponsorship, turnover and revenue was generated, as Senator Ó Céidigh noted.
