Former government Minister and Mayo TD Michael Ring has been appointed to the League of Ireland’s board of directors.
Michael, who has a lifelong interest in soccer and played with Westport United, retired from public life ahead of last November’s general election.
The FAI committee is chaired since 2021 by another former minister, Dermot Ahern, and it oversees the running of the League of Ireland, both male and female.
It consists of club representatives, FAI board directors and independent members proposed by the board.
