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

9:00 am

Ms Sarah Keane:

Yes. One of the recommendations of the Deloitte report, which the current board supports, is the removal of that process. It is an issue we will be bringing forward at the AGM in November. From my perspective, I felt if I were on the inside I would get the opportunity to make some change. In terms of my experience of the Olympic Council of Ireland thus far, on most occasions it was the board that put forward changes to the articles. Seldom did proposals come forward from the membership because changes to the articles required 75% of the vote and with board members having that it was not possible to get change without some of the board members voting in favour of it. Proposals to change the articles sought to remove some of these provisions which the Deloitte report states are not right.
