Part 3
On March 1st, Sunday Times journalist Mark Tighe was ready to break the story of John Delaney’s 100,000 euro bridging loan to the FAI. After reaching out for comment from Delaney himself, the story was eventually brought to court on the 16th as Delaney sought an injunction to prevent the story from reaching the public. On the 17th, the story did break, after the injunction attempt failed. Since then, the FAI have released 8 separate statements on the matter, John Delaney has ‘stepped down’ from his role as Chief Executive, only to then create a new role for himself as the Vice Executive President, which sees him essentially retain all of his old responsibilities except for running the League of Ireland and the Irish National Team.
