THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION of Ireland has today revealed that it is seeking to claim privilege on two more documents — meaning the information contained in them could not be used as part of the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) investigation.
Tens of thousands of documents have been submitted by Irish football’s governing body to the state’s watchdog, as per statutory requirements, including 40,000 three weeks ago.
While no privilege was sought on any of those, the ODCE has made an application to the High Court to determine if two of the 10,048 documents presented last week contain privileged legal material.
To date, the FAI say they have sought privilege on a total of 16 documents, adding that the High Court has so far upheld privilege on all 16.
“The FAI continues to co-operate fully with the ongoing ODCE investigation,” explains today’s brief statement.

Just in response to the42.ie’s constant ads for Boyle Sports on their rugby articles, I’ll link to the news story of their parent site. The question…will they remove a comment that links to an article on their own parent site outlining Ireland problem gambling, or will they just ignore the fact that they are openly advertising gambling at the same time they are also reporting the harms of gambling?

@JoeVlogs: Spin that wheel baby!!
@JoeVlogs: Such is the dialethics of life. How do they make money without advertising revenue? Betting, alcohol, etc. all no doubt cause a lot of harm (and arguably a great deal of joy too) but they pay, and people need money to survive, as capitalism evolves so too does our addiction to money. Like why does Soros need more? (because like most business people he’s addicted to accumulating wealth and power). How do we protect the smallest number of people who may be vulnerable to addiction while supporting the majority’s personal freedoms, you won find an answer
@JoeVlogs: ive a gambling issue to ads should be banned plus im a subscriber
Good man Tadhg Furlong, another vital cog in this Irish machine.
A proper attitude can bring you a long way! Massive respect to him
@Tony Metcalfe: I see what you did there
@Tony Metcalfe: it could bring you a couple of furlongs. But at the same time you only need one Furlong
Good to hear he is in good nick. He is a very important player but not as vital as Porter. Bealham was excellent in the 6ns and O’Toole was also reliable. If Porter were to get injured I would be quite apprehensive about the scrummaging ability of his replacements.
Struggling a lot for two years now. First man off the field in the Hcup final on 44 minutes. Man must be broke up. Glad to hear he’s feeling good.
But injuries are catching up he should be around for next world cup do legend
