Gardaí decide against FAI probe; corporate watchdog ODCE continues probe

An Garda Síochána has decided not to launch an investigation into financial affairs at the Football Association of Ireland — leaving it to the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement to continue its probe into the matter.

The decision follows high-level meetings between Garda bosses and the ODCE after Sports Ireland referred, last November, an independent audit of FAI finances it commissioned to Garda HQ.
