The election of the FAI's vice-president for the next two years was postponed for six weeks on Saturday as a result of current holder Maurice Fleming's failure to lodge a nomination for re-election.
The custom in recent times has been for the organisation's vice-president, once elected, to stand unopposed for a second two-year term.
Having failed to lodge the required nomination, however, there had been speculation that Fleming might face a fight to retain his job.
As it turned out, the newly elected FAI Council decided to put the election back six weeks to allow Fleming complete the required paperwork. It is not yet clear whether a challenge will materialise.
The association's agm in Kerry was rather uneventful with John Delaney's speech accounting for the bulk of the business during Saturday morning's official session.
An address to the meeting by former Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism John O'Donoghue was warmly received. O'Donoghue enjoyed considerable popularity amongst the game's administrators at all levels as a result of his support for the sport and his stand on the issue of the Tallaght Stadium saga.
