A High Court judge has ruled the examination by ex-FAI boss John Delaney of files seized by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement as part of its criminal investigation into certain matters at the FAI must be completed by mid-January.

The inspection arises out of 280,000 documents, covering a period of 17 years, seized by the ODCE from the FAI's offices last February as part of its investigation into Irish soccer's governing body.
