Coughlan granted judicial review

Cork City Chairman Tom Coughlan today obtained an order from the High Court for leave to judicially review the FAI Disciplinary Committee’s hearing of December 17.

The order relates to the committee’s refusal of Mr. Coughlan’s request for an adjournment, the committee’s decision to hold the hearing in Mr. Coughlan’s absence and the committee’s finding that Mr. Coughlan had brought the game of football into disrepute and the sanction imposed on him.
