An application from ex-Football Association of Ireland (FAI) chief executive John Delaney for a court hearing to be held in private is being opposed by a media outlet.

Mr Delaney wants the High Court to order an “in camera” hearing when it considers whether 3,500 FAI emails seized by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) can be studied by investigators.
