Contracts Ulster player was overturned after a review in recent court proceedings.
Jackson, 26, and his 25-year-old partner Olding was acquitted of raping the same woman in June 2016.
Jackson was also unanimously found not guilty of sexual abuse.
Former Ireland captain O’driscoll hopes that there are some positives out of the situation.
He told Newstalk with the ball: “I think the IRFU point of view, I think that they were left with no choice but to break off relations with Stuart and paddy.
“I think the IRFU quickly to try to put an end to this situation and to end the stain on the reputation of the game that was in Ireland in the last few months.
“In all negative situations, you should try to draw some positives. Highlighting any potential misogynist undercurrents that can exist in the game and stamp it.”
