The Olympic Council of Ireland is under pressure to explain how tickets earmarked for them ended up in the hands of an alleged tout in Brazil.
Police there say Irish man Kevin Mallon was arrested last week, with hundreds of tickets intended for re-sale at inflated prices.
The tickets have been seized and several international investigations are underway – including one by the O-C-I.
But Minister Shane Ross, says it's too early to jump to conclusions about what happened.
