John Delaney, paid €360,000 annually as chief executive of the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), received an extra €160,000 from Uefa last year, according to financial statements published last month.
Delaney was elected to the Uefa executive committee in April 2017 and chairs its youth and amateur football committee. He is also deputy chairman of Uefa’s women’s football committee.
Delaney is likely to face questions about his salary next month when he is due to appear before the Oireachtas committee on transport, tourism and sport. Two earlier dates for his appearance were postponed, but the FAI is now scheduled to appear on April 10.
His €160,000 Uefa earnings are €50,000 higher than the prize money on offer in the Airtricity Premier Division this year.
