Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Report into Ticketing at Rio Olympic Games: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Sarah Keane:

Again, I was not on the board then. However, the then board did approve the authorised ticket reseller in 2010. That brought it forward for a period. I am not sure if it was aware of the contract in 2012. I came in less than two years before the games and became aware, through financial reports, that we had an authorised ticket reseller in place, which I would have expected within that time. For me, and for other members, we understood there was something in place and we did not look for further information because there were no obvious red flags. When the red flags arose with Rio, a lot more questioning took place.
