There are growing calls for an investigation into the payout, which FAI chief John Delaney says was aimed at preventing legal action after Thierry Henry's handball stopped Ireland from reaching the 2010 World Cup. 

FIFA says the money was a 'loan' – which was written off after Ireland failed to make the 2014 tournament. 

Republic of Ireland Assistant Manager Roy Keane says events off the field are not a distraction for the squad.
