Overview
- US-based Trivela Group confirmed it removed Joanna Byrne under its authority as Drogheda United’s sole shareholder.
- The board now lists Benjamin Boycott, Marc Koretzky, Barton Lee, and CEO Rian Wogan, with Boycott serving as sole chairperson.
- The club says it will seek to appoint a local director and co‑chair in due course.
- Trivela says the decision followed a loss of trust and confidence rather than opposition to Byrne’s beliefs.
- Byrne, a Sinn Féin TD for Louth and the party’s sport spokesperson, had refused to resign after calling for a boycott of Ireland’s Nations League games with Israel, and was previously told to step down in writing.
