Dundalk have threatened fans with lifetime bans if they set off flares and smoke bombs at matches.
The club was reacting to recent incidents at games at Oriel Park, Dalymount Park and Richmond Park.
And according to Dundalk, RTE also lodged a complaint citing concern for the safety of their staff.
In a statement, Dundalk said: “After our recent home match against Shamrock Rovers, the club received numerous complaints about the behaviour of a small number of fans.
“We have a message for this small number of individuals, who again showed disregard for the safety of other Dundalk fans by using flares during our recent away matches with Bohemians and St Patrick’s Athletic, with the potential to cause harm to innocent bystanders and people doing their jobs.
“To these individuals, who have also recklessly used fireworks and have no regard for the wellbeing of other Dundalk supporters – if you are caught with flares, fireworks, smoke bombs, or any pyrotechnics, we will issue them with lifetime bans from Oriel Park and will work with other clubs to ensure they don’t attend away matches either.
“We are not trying to stop you from enjoying matches, we need our fans more than ever and, let us reiterate, your support is greatly appreciated by all at the club, none more so than the players and staff.”
The Dundalk statement continued: “The FAI are not being unreasonable in their alarm of these actions and RTE are not being vindictive in reporting the club for concern for the staff, we are simply trying to protect all in attendance against the dangers of these items.
“The Health and Safety of all people attending our matches in Oriel Park is paramount to us and extra security measures will be in place for all remaining home matches this season.”
