The FAI have released a statement in response to a Match Official being struck by a pyrotechnic during Dundalk's 3-1 victory over Drogheda United at Oriel Park last Friday.
The statement read: "Following the SSE Airtricity Men's Premier Division fixture between Dundalk FC and Drogheda United FC at Oriel Park on Friay, 29 September, 2023, in which a Match Official was struck by a pyrotechnic, an Independent Disciplinary Committee of the FAI has banned Drogheda United FC spectators from attending their next away game versus Shamrock Rovers FC on 20 October 2023 at Tallaght Stadium.
"The League of Ireland and FAI would like to remind supporters of the dangers of pyrotechnics usage inside stadia which is strictly prohibited at all League of Ireland fixtures.
"In accordance with the FAI Disciplinary Regulations, this decision may be appealed."
