Considering Alan Kelly felt he had to issue a personal statement (not through FAI) denying claims he leaked info which led to the investigation that was the reason for Damien Duff leaving, you have to wonder why experienced reporters continue to ‘peddle’ a particular angle.
Stephen Kenny has lost a second member of his senior ROI staff with respected goalkeeping Alan Kelly following Damien Duff out the door. Something clearly amiss with ROI management set-up.
