:00:34. > :00:36.earlier recommendation, that Pat Hickey, once the most powerful man
:00:37. > :00:40.in sport in Ireland, will stand trial in Brazil. The charges are
:00:41. > :00:45.serious, criminal organisation, ticket touting, money laundering and
:00:46. > :00:50.tax evasion amongst them. Dublin businessman Kevin Mallon faces the
:00:51. > :00:54.same charges. The judge listed a further eight codefendants who're
:00:55. > :00:58.not believed to be in Brazil. The allegations centre around the
:00:59. > :01:04.illegal sale of tickets for the Rio Olympic Games. When Mr Hickey was
:01:05. > :01:09.arrested, he stood down temporarily from his position of the President
:01:10. > :01:15.of the Olympic Council of Ireland. The Brazilian police claimed the
:01:16. > :01:19.tickets were being passed to TKHG, not authorised to sell tickets at
:01:20. > :01:27.the Games. All of those named as being involved have denied any
:01:28. > :01:33.wrongdoing. Mr Hickey and Mr Mallon remain under house arrest. They have
:01:34. > :01:37.to observe a curfew each night. They have been banned from the
:01:38. > :01:40.Paralympics and both have had passports retained so they can't
:01:41. > :01:42.leave Brazil for the foreseeable. The case could take up to a

:02:19. > :02:21.Stormont agreement and hopes to get the public more involved in the
:02:22. > :02:25.process. It will be important to have a public phase to ensure that
