Outgoing FAI Chairman Roy Barrett has put the heat on Government bigwigs to allow soccer to operate on a level-playing field with rival sports, GAA and rugby.
Barrett has signalled his intention to quit his role in 2023 after three years in charge when he has helped the FAI rebuild its reputation after the disastrous John Delaney era.
But there is still so much work needed to get soccer onto a higher level and Barrett didn’t shy away from challenging the leading figures in Leinster House to give soccer a helping hand.
