- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: At the outset, Dr. May said that Sport Ireland is not a regulatory body. Does she believe there is a role for greater regulation of the financial and governance arrangements in sports and for them to be more closely aligned with one particular oversight body?

Paul McAuliffe: Does Sport Ireland want the job?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: We were talking about learnings. We have just talked about two national governing bodies with significant issues, national debates and so on. That would point to the need for far greater regulation.

Paul McAuliffe: Is Dr. May suggesting that it might change the nature of the relationship Sport Ireland has with some of the governing bodies?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: If there was a need for far greater regulation around financial governance issues, it may not be best aligned to the Sport Ireland's development role.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)

The three big governing bodies - the FAI, the GAA and the IRFU - received nearly 73% of the Covid-19 supports. Nearly 85 national governing bodies received the other 27%. Has Sport Ireland seen the benefit of...

- Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: From the Seanad (14 Jun 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: I appreciate that. From a general perspective, I appreciate the enormous work the Seanad has put into this Bill. I also commend the Minister. This Bill deals with a wide range of topics to do with road traffic. At its initial publication, I was most interested in section 5, which deals with scrambler bikes. My only comment around this amendment and the others that are before us is that I...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Paul McAuliffe: I thank all our guests for being with us. It often confuses me when I am at this committee because I feel I am at the Oireachtas housing committee, as they have covered much territory together. On the opening statement, the Comptroller and Auditor General's 2019 annual report referenced the measurement of performance for Exchequer spending on social housing. It is interesting that we are...

For both private operators and local authorities, we are now subsidising housing units up to the scale of €100,000 or €150,000 per unit. In the city, even with those numbers, we are struggling to build units. Deputy Verona Murphy made a very good point. I said, "as a society", but she is...
