Good point
is there even a garda investigation open?
when its now official that the affair has cost the country over 30 million surely some one must be held accountable and if as the auditors claim there were lied to then an offence must have occurred,
with this latest present from the Taxpayer I would love to find out what contribution the FAI have actually made towards the Aviva out of their own money? have the paid anything , A number of years ago the FAI were Celebrating how they had saved 10 million by 'restructuring' the loan which just means they told the bank unless your write down the load your getting nothing at all.
Disgraceful using taxpayers money to bail out that whinging shit for brains useless organisation.
How may hours of badly needed home helps would that money pay for?

It would be nice for people like himself and the Anglo lads to be held toaccount, but as it stands, the only law I can see being pushed, if even broken, was his squeeze as a consultant.

the stupid money he was paid and they he ruled with an ironfist us the FAI's fault but not criminal but if he lied to an auditor that would be an offense as it is a company in receipt of Government money and any such lie would have tax implication, but according to my lawyer he didn't do any of that surely

In my opinion the only one that might stick is paying the girlfriend a wage. But he won't do time for that, if it even gets as far as the Garda.

What do you think is going on in Galway? No sports body is whiter than white here. We know what his obscene salary was because they told us. What is the Ard Stiúrthóir on?
Delaney was picked apart by the media, not any agency of state. Look at rugby, their press are muzzled and would never ask the same questions.

It's undeniably a very fine stadium. Was budgeted to cost €86m but badly overran by €24m. Unusual for the GAA that a major project gets underestimated this badly but the overuns will be paid by the GAA. The government allocation remains at €30m as far as I know.
So that example doesn't qualify. Any others or are you bullshitting?
His mantra is "Soccer good, Gah baaaad" so not much logic just "whataboutry" when the useless FAI gets rightly criticised.

lets try an answer again
he may have led to an auditor to cover up the true financial state of the company he was running
and not declared certain payment that were liable for tax ,
they are the offences I would suspect him off

Soccer is massively underfunded in this country. Greyhound industry for example got €16m last year compared to €2.8m for soccer from government. Yet another example of how inept FAI officials have been at lobbying for funding.
If the Government hadn't given the FAI a bailout they'd have lost the Euros in the summer and Ireland wouldn't be allowed field a senior international side. They'll get the €5m back this year through teams/fans visiting for the Euros and the country avoids embarrassment on a global scale
Nothing like a good old fashioned Irish bail out to raise the resentment and envy levels of other Irish.
The total bailout figure mentioned was about Eur 25m, to be paid out over 3 years.
That figure includes the annual grant (5.8m) paid to the FAI each year for the next 3 years.
and an annual loan 2.54m for the next 3 years.
The loaned money to start to be repayed after 2024.
The "extra" element in the bail out is that the loan is interest free and there is some raise in the level of the annual grant.
I don't think I'd call it the full bail out, just a bit of a bail out.

Are you referring to the ex and the long standing divorce proceedings or to his partnership with Emma?
Either way, does it matter? there is more enough evidence against JD as a corrupt FAI CEO, without the need to add toilet humour to embelish it.
