The Olympic Council of Ireland says it'll defend itself to the hilt in the wake of the Rio ticket touting scandal.
The 71-year-old President of the Olympic Council of Ireland Pat Hickey was taken to hospital after his arrest yesterday.
He was complaining of chest pains and officers say they won't speak to him until his condition has improved.
Mr Hickey, who has temporarily stepped down from the OCI, is facing three charges including ticket touting, the formation of a cartel and ambush or illicit marketing.
There's no limit to how long he can be held before being charged – he could be sentenced to as long as seven years in jail – if convicted.
Clare Fianna Fáil TD Timmy Dooley says while the Brazilian authorities will investigate – we also need to find out if there were any breaches of Irish law.
