Talks were underway at Drogheda United on Thursday to try broker a boardroom solution following a fractious 24 hours. Ms Byrne was speaking in her role as full-time serving Sinn Féin TD for Co Louth.

The company that owns the naming rights of United Park confirmed they will review their partnership with the club in light of this episode.
