The extra tickets the FAI bought off Celtic/Dermot Desmond for the Scotland away game- are the costs of those recorded in the accounts ? 

The pulping of (a reported) € 10,000 worth of match programmes pre Scotland home game- is that cost recorded in the accounts ? And the cost of the re-prints- is that included in the € 10k as well, or is it a separate cost ? As a slight aside, have a look at this report of that incident;

According to that report, that decision was a board one, and nothing to do with the former CEO, even though it was comments made by the former CEO that caused the board to make the decision to pulp the programmes. On a credibility scale of 1-10, with 1 being unbelievable and 10 being the full honest truth of the matter, JD claiming he knew nothing about that decision comes in at around, eh, 10 of course, like everything else he ever uttered. 

Who paid for the injunction taken out by JD V various media outlets re his Eurovision Song Contest attempt in the Bath pub ? If it was the FAI, is that cost recorded in the accounts ? If he paid himself, grand job, nothing to see here. 

Who paid for a number of legal 'cease & desist' letters/threats to various media outlets over their coverage of his OCI role around the time of Pat Hickey's arrest in Brazil ? If it was the FAI, are these costs recorded in the accounts ? If he paid himself, grand job, nothing to see here. 

Edit; Actually another aside here- just after remembering that one of the FAI shills that appear on here from time to time assured me that all those media outlets would end up in court, the great man would be vindicated, and they would all have to pay him money. Aside from one single case V the Irish Daily Mail (I think it was them), which he won, and that was before this particular exchange of views with that poster, none of them had accused him of any wrong-doing, so I reckoned the threats were worthless. Presume they are all due in court any day now. 

Question for the board if it transpires that the FAI did pay for some or all of these legal related issues- is this considered the best use of FAI funds? 

Exactly how much have the FAI spent on legal fees involving the former CEO during his tenure ? Perhaps he paid for all those actions himself, he could well afford to on his previous salary. Then again, he could have afforded to pay all his own rent on that previous salary too, but that didn't happen. 

Can't imagine it is - But, as you mentioned yesterday, it wouldn't look good at all in the court of public opinion and I couldn't see Sport Ireland reinstating the funding under those circumstances.
