    The point is that the FAI was effectively John Delaney.

    John Delaney decided that the FAI would pay for John Delaney’s 50th birthday party.

    Indeed, charities come to mind, getting money from government and tax free donations, no governance and rife with people lining their pockets.

    The charity industry is a monumental waste of money. How many homelessness charities are there in Dublin ? Each with a CEO, a CFO, office space, clerical staff, etc...

    Very revealing about Denis O Brien in my opinion that he thinks John Delaney is a good businessman.

    Treasurer was absolutely clueless.

    Indeed. Although one must be careful about what one says about DOB, even on an internet forum.

    That's John O'Regan. Secretary and Joint Treasurer of the Kerry District League and not a brain in his head.

    Embarrassing.

    The FAI should have been left to go bust. Complete and total clear out and start again. If that meant being kicked out of FIFA for a couple of campaigns then so be it. It also may have led to an all island team.

    I thought it odd that he presumably knows the full story now, and was aware of the intention of the documentary makers, yet still chose to praise Delaney. Maybe it was selective editing.

    Did the program leave out the bit after his resignation that he'd continued as a executive advisor or some shiit.

    And making lots of money according to his auld fella. Almost a Fcuk you to the FAI.

    Apparently he is doing some management consulting work there. No doubt bluffing away.

    How many of the elite in this country ever get what they deserve after being found out as corrupt?. I could count on one hand with room to spare. Slap on the wrist and here's a big payoff and lucrative pension as you laugh your way to a luxury retirement.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.
