Former IFA leader defends his actions

A review of pay and pensions is now underway, after it was revealed its former General Secretary's salary was worth more than half a million Euro.

Pat Smith had a €2 million severance package signed off on by ex-IFA President Eddie Downey, who has described it as “obscene”, but says he was following a “legal process”.

Eddie Downey says he did what had to be done as president.
