St Patrick’s Athletic could seek discovery of data such as phone records if their claim for breach of contract against departed manager Stephen O’Donnell reaches the High Court.

Saints owner Garrett Kelleher was left reeling two days after their FAI Cup final win last month when O’Donnell informed him of his intention to quit.
