Olympic Council of Ireland will not view the independent report into ticket arrangements for the Rio Games

The executive council of the Olympic Council of Ireland say they will not view the independent report into the ticket arrangements for the Rio Olympics.

Instead, the independent report being carried out by Grant Thornton will be passed directly to Judge Carroll Moran.

A statement released this evening by the OCI states: "At no point has the OCI Executive Committee had sight of the report.  It is expected that the completed report will be with Judge Moran by 15 November."

A separate report, conducted by Deloitte, into governance at the organisation has been completed and a draft will be reviewed by members in the coming days.

Once the committee has reviewed it for "factual accuracies" it will then be published.

Olympic Council of Ireland Statement

The Executive Committee of the OCI this evening unanimously agreed the following:
 
·         The draft Deloitte report into governance arrangements under the OCI’s current constitution, which was circulated to committee members for the first time this evening, will over the coming days be reviewed by committee members for factual accuracies. Deloitte will then finalise its report and the report will be published soon after.    
 
·         Once the independent Grant Thornton report into ticketing arrangements in Rio is complete it will be sealed and passed by Grant Thornton directly to Judge Carroll Moran to consider as part of his non statutory inquiry.  At no point has the OCI Executive Committee had sight of the report.  It is expected that the completed report will be with Judge Moran by 15 November.
