Federation of Irish Sport 'Demands' To See OCI Independent Report
The Federation of Irish Sport has called for transparency from the Olympic Council of Ireland and is "demanding" access to the independent report into the council's governance.
The call comes ahead of the OCI's Executive Board meeting this evening which was due to start at around 6pm.
It's understood that on the agenda, will be a review of Deloitte's report into the OCI's governance which was in response to the controversy over the alleged mis-selling of Rio Olympics tickets.
Any recommended change's to the OCI's constitution are due to put forward at tonight's meeting.
The Federation of Irish Sport, which represents the majority of Ireland's national Olympic sporting organisations, released a statement this evening calling for access for its members to the report.
"The Federation of Irish Sport, on behalf of its members, is demanding that the OCI make the report available in full to its 36 member federations immediately after the meeting has concluded and that the report also be published in full."
Chief Executive of the Federation of Irish Sport, James Galvin added, “The OCI has been in crisis since the Rio Olympics and has severely damaged its relationship with Irish sport.
"This report will provide the first insight into what went wrong with its governance and how it can begin to be repaired.”
“We believe that without open, honest and timely communication from the OCI, rehabilitating the organisation cannot happen. This first step needs to be transparency with its stakeholders about the Deloitte report.”
