The passports of three members of the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) [Dermot Henihan, Kevin Kilty and Stephen Martin] have been seized following the search of a hotel in Brazil in relation to the Rio ticketing controversy.
No arrests were made during the search.
“Early this morning in Rio, Brazilian police arrived at the OCI offices in the Olympic village and at OCI accommodation outside of the village,” said the OCI in a statement.
Civil Police removed mobile phones and Olympics tickets from the hotel rooms of members of the OCI.
The passports of three Irish citizens were also confiscated by police officers, as part of their ongoing investigation.
“The OCI personnel were asked to present for questioning at a local police station on Tuesday (23 August) next. They agreed to do so,” said the OCI.
“The OCI had an allocation of unused official tickets in their offices which had been made available for athletes’ families and friends. The police also took possession of these tickets,” added the OCI.

This morning, with a TWENTY FIVE EURO Golden Discs voucher on offer, we asked you: Choose a song that sums up the oncoming month of trembling possibilities, September?
You answered in your tens.
But there could only be one winner.
‘Notahipster‘ wins the voucher for selecting It Might As Well Rain Until September because:
“It was written by the greatest husband and wife songwriting team of all time, the great Carole King, and the late, great Gerry Goffin. A beautiful song of lost love. Sniff.”
Fight!
Runners up:
Ivan: “For the month that will soon be in it, please play September Gurls by Big Star because no matter what month it is, life is always better with a bit of janglepop.”
Milfred St Meadowlark: “For the month that will soon be in it please play Forever Autumn by Jeff Wayne because it’s War of the Worlds and it’s a downright excellent song, along with the rest of the album. In fact, play it all. The original, not that new-fangled muck. Thank you…”
Andyourpointiswhatexactly: “September Morn by Neil Diamond…Because my grandfather, Mum and now I all love(d) him.”
Harry Molloy: “For the month that’s about to be in in it please play Maggie May by Rod Stewart because it’s all about going back to school and leaving the older woman who took advantage of you over the summer. Story of my life.”
Damian: ‘For the month that will soon be in it, please play Hot for Teacher by Van Halen because starting secondary school. I thought the at least one of my teachers was going to be like the one in this video. I couldn’t have been more wrong, they were all male.”
Bobaldinho: “For the month that will soon be in it, please play George Harrison’s “Here Comes The Sun” because I live in Australia and its starting to warm up again.”
Thanks all

NOTICE: After two lovely years with the ‘sheet Mark Ryall has handed over the bunch of keys of the Broadsheet Trailer Park to Bertie Blenkinsop, a name familiar to regular readers. This is Bertie’s first trailer.
What You may need to know
1. The Watchman is a one-off drama starring the ever-brilliant Stephen Graham as a CCTV operator who intervenes when the police fail to tackle a gang of drug dealers.
2. Graham was superb as the racist skinhead Combo in 2006’s This is England (the movie with the greatest soundtrack ever imho ), and stole every scene he appeared in with a fantastic mix of raw menace and disturbed vulnerability. If you remember the scene where Shaun is buying his first pair of Docs, the shoe shop assistant is Stephen Graham’s wife, trivia fans.
3. Graham also chewed up the scenery as Al Capone in the excellent and sorely missed (by me at least) Boardwalk Empire. (Alec Baldwin was originally considered for the role of Nucky Thompson. What a time to be alive!).
5. Incidentally, it is OBLIGATORY to mention the fact that Al Capone was imprisoned for failing to pay his taxes in EVERY article about the Criminal Assets Bureau.
Bertie’s Verdict: Looks like a great vehicle for Graham to do what he does best ie. anger, violence and longing.
Release date: Wednesday, August 24, Channel 4 at 9pm
