The FAI Disciplinary Committee has issued sanctions against both Bohemian FC and Shamrock Rovers following the outbreak of violence on April 15.

The Airtricity League meeting between the two at Dalymount Park was marred by clashes between supporters.

Bohemian FC was charged with five offences under the categories of ‘pitch invasion’, ‘match and player safety obligations’ and ‘missiles’ – objects thrown by supporters.

Shamrock Rovers was charged with two offences: ‘pitch invasion’ and ‘missiles’, relating to conduct of their own supporters.

The FAI said in a statement: “The FAI Stadia & Security Committee are reviewing Match Operations on the night of the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division game and met with Bohemian FC regarding how the fixture was managed on the night.”

Both clubs have accepted the sanctions, opting not to exercise their right to appeal.
