Trevor Brennan's appeal against his lifetime playing ban will be heard in Dublin on June 1st.
The former-Ireland forward was suspended last month after being found guilty of misconduct under Heineken Cup disciplinary rules.
Brennan (33) entered a seating area during Toulouse's Heineken Cup pool game against Ulster at Stade Ernest Wallon on January 21st and repeatedly struck Ulster supporter Patrick Bamford.
The Toulouse player was banned for life from playing rugby, although he had already announced his intention to retire at the end of this season.
He was also prohibited from participating in any capacity in tournaments organised by European Rugby Cup Limited, although this does not prevent him from coaching or managing outside ERC events.
Brennan additionally received a fine of €25,000 and was ordered to pay €5,000 in compensation to Bamford.
An independent appeal committee will be chaired by Wyn Williams QC (Wales), assisted by Robert Horner (England) and Bill Dunlop (Scotland).
