Bernard O'Byrne is stepping down from his role as Basketball Ireland CEO and Secretary General, the governing body for the sport confirmed on Tuesday evening.

O'Byrne made headlines last week after a social media post he made in response to Raheem Sterling's controversial penalty for England in their Euro 2020 semi-final clash with Denmark.
