Damien Duff has praised the women who shared their stories about allegedly receiving unwanted or inappropriate sexual advances from FAI coaches in the 1990s.

The Shelbourne men’s boss said he watched last Sunday’s RTÉ Investigates documentary about the revelations, which followed a major joint investigation between the programme and the Sunday Independent.
