It comes as pressure mounts on OCI president Pat Hickey to appear before an Oireachtas committee to answer questions on how around 1,000 Olympic tickets may have been illegally put up for sale.

The OCI has asked the Rio organising committee to pass on all evidence relating to black-market tickets. It is investigating how Kevin James Mallon and interpreter Barbara Carnieri allegedly came to own OCI-allocated tickets.
