The OCI has confirmed that Ciaran O’Cathain has resigned from its Executive board.
In a statement this afternoon, the OCI confirmed that Mr. O’Cathain resigned at last night’s (Nov 2) meeting of the OCI.
Mr O’Cathain, who is also president of Athlone I.T was Chair of the Crisis Management Committee and a director of the OCI.
The resignation comes amid speculation as to whether the OCI may try to permanently remove Pat Hickey as their President.
Mr Hickey has temporarily stepped aside as the head of the Olympic Council of Ireland while facing criminal charges in Brazil for ticket touting.
The Council is paying his legal costs, but he’s used the same lawyers to threaten the OCI with a High Court injunction preventing them from proceeding with a report into the Rio ticketing arrangements.
