The Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement wants to appoint five additional people to help examine documents seized from the Football Association of Ireland over which claims of legal privilege are made. Legal privilege is being claimed over some 3,800 documents. Mr Nolan and the FAI, represented by Brian Gageby, had no objections to the additional people being appointed. Paul McGarry, for Mr Delaney, said he had concerns about certain matters being proposed by the ODCE. Any document deemed to be covered by legal privilege cannot be used by the ODCE as part of its investigation.
