Ireland manager Martin O'Neill says there is "no real issue or delay" in his contract talks with the FAI.

His contract is due to expire after the Euros this summer, but it's expected he'll sign a new one, having guided the boys in green to France 2016.

O'Neill explained why the talks haven't happened just yet

Assistant Manager Roy Keane has been linked with a number of managerial vacancies in both England and Scotland since taking the job and having managed at Sunderland and Ipswich before, Keane is likely to return to a manager’s hot seat at some stage.

O’Neill says his number two will make up his own mind about his future, and the pair have not discussed it
