Olympic Council of Ireland 'will not be investigating itself' in ticket scandal inquiry

The under-fire Olympic Council of Ireland has said its inquiry into the ticket scandal in Rio will not see the body investigating itself, writes Daniel McConnell, Political Editor.

In a statement released today, the OCI said that the probe will focus on "the chain of events from the appointment of Pro10 to the arrest of Kevin Mallon", the Irishman arrested by Brazilian authorities a week ago.
