Youth Justice Strategy: Statements (21 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Like the other speakers, I welcome the progress we have made on this issue. I compliment the Minister of State, Deputy James Browne, on how he has approached it.

There are an additional eight youth workers in Finglas...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome all the witnesses and thank Dr. May for her opening statement. I will start with that issue of governance. It is a mistake that Sport Ireland is not a regulatory body but has a leadership position in governance. I suppose, as a key funder, Sport Ireland also has an additional tool in the toolbox. That was seen, probably most recently, in the area of boxing. I should preface...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I am aware of some of the history. I wonder if Dr. May could bring us to the point where Sport Ireland is now and her view of what measures have been taken since November of last year.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Dr. May stated that withdrawal of funding is an issue of last resort and does not have a long-term impact. Is it correct that if the threat to withdraw funding had not been in place the changes she acknowledged most likely would not have happened?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: There was a vote. It was rejected, despite the funding threat being in place.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: As well as its reach into communities, it has provided national heroes in the sense of Olympic athletes and so on. It was particularly disappointing that some key talent we had in the high-performance unit in the area of boxing has left under protest and in controversial circumstances. For example, Mr. Bernard Dunne has now signed with the Boxing Federation of India. Investing in sport...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I beg to differ. This is not a case of talent being poached. We have had two cases where key pieces of talent have left, citing real, core problems in how they were able to do their job. They were people who were supporting our athletes on the front line of what high-performance boxing is about. It was not a case of us being so successful that our talent was poached. It was the case that...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: While Sport Ireland is responsible for many matters, and the international boxing regulatory environment is not a question I am going to put to Dr. May, it is correct to say that it is an external threat to what is a key national resource. To continue on the issue of governance, will Dr. May update us on her view on where the Football Association of Ireland, FAI, stands?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: What is the situation on its financial stability?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Perhaps Mr. McGinty would provide that in writing to us after the meeting. I have such limited time. In regard to the FAI and the experience there, and we have discussed boxing, to what extent did what happened to the FAI inform the approach to the governance issues in the Irish Athletic Boxing Association, IABA? The public looks at this and has huge interest in these sports. When...
