FAI chief David Courell defends Abbotstown redundancy plans and says Heimir Hallgrimsson will see out contract
"FAI CEO David Courell says that an above European average spend on staff is the reason the association is set to cut the workforce."
"The FAI's most senior executive also insists that the men and women's senior national sides are very well resourced compared to other UEFA members, his way of tackling criticism around the absence of a sports psychologist in Heimir Hallgrimsson's camp and more serious claims around the women's set up that have been raised by ex-boss Eileen Gleeson."
An above-European-average spend on staff has prompted planned workforce reductions at the FAI. The senior national men's and women's teams are reported as well resourced compared with other UEFA members. Heimir Hallgrimsson's coaching group currently does not include a sports psychologist. Former boss Eileen Gleeson has raised more serious claims regarding the women's setup. Workforce cuts are presented as a financial response to staffing costs while resources for senior national sides are maintained relative to other European associations.
