Delaney is reported to have said that the fear factor for teams visiting Lansdowne Road disappeared under Kerr and that he found interesting Damien Duff's comment that Ireland played like a pub team.
According to a statement this evening, Kerr is "disappointed by the comments and greatly concerned by the inappropriate and mischievous presentation of the facts concerning his management of the team."
He says that the comments are 'defamatory' and "a clear breach of an agreement between him and the Association which he had entered into in good faith."
The Association declined to renew Kerr's contract when it expired at the end of the unsuccessful qualifying campaign for this summer's world cup.
Judging by the statement issued for Kerr tonight, it seems apparent that even though he was out of contract, there was some sort of confidentiality or 'gagging' clause agreed when he left the job and that he believes this agreement has been broken.
