Robbie Keane has been urged to refund his €250,000 a year FAI salary to help fund grassroots football in Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland's all-time leading goalscorer has continued to receive a salary from the FAI despite leaving the international coaching setup when Mick McCarthy stepped down as manager in April 2020.
Keane was stood down from his assistant role when Stephen Kenny came into the job and opted to bring in his own backroom team, but the former striker's contract with the association does not expire until this summer and the FAI have continued to pay Keane's salary in full.
