The Trivela Group, owners of LEague of Ireland Premier Division side Drogheda United, say that Joanna Byrne has been removed from her role as co-chairperson at the club.

Last month, Byrne -- a Sinn Féin TD for Louth, claimed that the board had said her position was untenable following her calls for a boycott of the Republic of Ireland’s Nations League games with Israel.
