strongly criticised the FAI for taking a €5million pay-out from FIFA over
Thierry Henry’s controversial handball in the 2009 world cup play-off. Mr Kelly
was speaking in the European Parliament which will debate the FIFA corruption scandals tomorrow.  The Ireland
South MEP is recommending that the FAI hand back the €5million it got from FIFA
and ask for a grant instead.

The FAI should hand back the €5million it
got from FIFA and ask for a grant instead. That’s the recommendation from the Fine
Gael MEP Sean Kelly. Mr Kelly says the FAI should never have taken the
€5million from FIFA. He says the payout was ‘damaging to Ireland’ and that it
set a dangerous precedent. The Ireland South MEP was speaking at the European
Parliament in Strasbourg which will be debating the recent FIFA scandals this
week.

Out words: to change

The European Parliament is calling for tighter
regulation of rules governing the prescription of veterinary antibiotics to animals. The MEPs
want to stop the practice of mass medication of animals with antibiotics in
order to cure a couple of sick animals on farms. They say the over prescription
of antibiotics to both humans and animals is leading to an increased resistance
to infections and common diseases. The Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan says this resistance
is taking its toll annually in Europe.

Out words: resistant pathogens
