OCI should contribute to Irish sport, ‘not take money out’

Nine months since coming through the most tumultuous period in its history, the Olympic Council of Ireland wants to become financially independent from all Government funding in the coming years.

Most of the existing executive was ousted last February in the wake of the Rio ticketing scandal and replaced by a new board at an Emergency General Meeting.

Delegates at another Emergency General Meeting next Tuesday will be given the details of the OCI’s vision for the future in the form of a strategic plan for 2018 -2024.
