More than a week ago, the former vice president of the Olympic Council of Ireland came under intense scrutiny after reports he had provided a 100,000 cheque to the FAI in April 2017.The 51-year-old claimed loaned his employers the money “to aid a very short-term cash flow issue”.Further revelations in the Sunday Times claim Delaney was receiving 3,000 a month from his employers in rent for his house.And fans were clearly infuriated at the fact the Waterford-born official is still in a position of such high authority. After Robbie Brady was cynically brought down past the half-hour mark, fans launched the balls onto the pitch to cause a brief delay.However, Conor Hourihane stepped up and curled the 20-yard free-kick around the wall and into the net for his first international goal to give the hosts a deserved lead.
