Delaney came under significant pressure this past week after revelations of a €100,000 loan provided to the FAI two years ago came to light. The Sunday Times last week revealed that Delaney had provided a loan to the FAI due to a cashflow issue arising within the association. Delaney further addressed the loan in a second statement published by the FAI last Sunday, in which he said he acted in the FAI’s best interests.
