No evidence Pro10 contract was OCI committee decision

The ticket licensing firm at the centre of Ireland’s Olympics crisis has refused to comment on revelations the decision to award it the lucrative contract for the Rio 2016 games was never ratified by the OCI’s executive committee.

Sports management firm Pro10 declined to respond to the news after a trawl of Olympic Council of Ireland board minutes since THG lost the contract found no evidence of any discussion about the new firm.

Since the multi-million euro ticket touting scandal began at the start of this month, repeated questions have been raised over how and why Pro10 was given the lucrative license to re-sell Ireland’s tickets for Brazil.
