THE Football Association of Ireland has vowed to mount “a strong legal defence” against allegations of discrimination made by former Republic of Ireland Women's head coach Eileen Gleeson.

A newspaper report on Sunday based on court documents revealed that Gleeson has accused the FAI of treating her and her team unfairly because of their gender.

However, the Association has denied the claims and reiterated its determination to tackle discrimination of any kind within the game.

An FAI statement read: “The Football Association of Ireland treats all matters of alleged discrimination within Irish football with the utmost seriousness.
