As per the statement issued by the FAI on Thursday 8th August (see below), Shamrock Rovers F.C. confirm that it has appealed the decision of FAI Disciplinary Committee in relation to Sports Direct Men’s FAI Cup tie against Bohemian F.C. The appeal, as with the original protest, will focus on several aspects, most notably the statutory basis and decision-making process for determining player eligibility for the game. The club will make no further comment on the process at this time.

“Following the conclusion of a disciplinary hearing, an Independent Disciplinary Committee has rejected Shamrock Rovers FC’s protest relating to Dawson Devoy’s eligibility in their fixture versus Bohemian FC in the Sports Direct Men’s FAI Cup on 19 July 2024. In accordance with the FAI Disciplinary Regulations, this decision may be appealed.”
