BDO is to be paid more than €180,000 by Cycling Ireland to conduct a wide-ranging review of the sporting body’s activities, including an investigation into a controversial deal with a professional cycling team, the Business Post has learned.

The consultancy firm is preparing a report into several issues at the embattled organisation, which has been beset by conflict over recent months. Liam Collins, the body’s recently elected president, and several board members resigned in February.
