Probe into lack of detail on Olympic ticket deals

The absence of details around payments to the Olympic Council of Ireland for tickets to the Games bought by agents is expected to be investigated further in the wake of the Rio ticket touting inquiry.

A lack of financial statements and documentation around the exchange of tickets and payments for them for the London 2012 and Rio 2016 games was of “some concern”, according to the Moran report.

The Oireachtas Committee on Sport will today hear from OCI president Sarah Keane on this issue, while Moran’s recommendations on ‘ticket reconciliations’ for the two Games could be referred to auditors for further investigation.
