Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: No, there was one cheque. The FAI got an email the day after it was looking for the money. There was one cheque and the FAI knew it was coming. For how long did it know it was coming? How long did it have to pay it? For how long was it legally obliged to pay it? The cheque was made available by the former CEO and lodged, ready to be used if it came down. Did it have to be paid by that...

Mark Daly: Does Mr. O'Connell know the answer to my question?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: Members are asking about €100,000 that we know was due. There was no money available in the other accounts and the witnesses cannot tell the committee for what was the bill. Was it for infrastructure? For what was the bill?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I am not asking what it was for. To whom was the bill due? Was it a club? Did it relate to infrastructure or wages?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: Mr. Conway can do so. I am not asking to whom it was due; I am asking what it was for.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I am asking what it was for.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: No, I am not asking what the bridging loan was for. I am talking about the bill of €100,000 that had to be paid that the organisation knew was coming. Was it for infrastructure or was a club due the money? What were the terms of payment? Did it have to be paid by that Friday or was it the following month? Was the organisation given 28 days to pay it? What were the terms of credit?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: What is not clear is when it had to be paid.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: What our guests are not able to tell us is what exactly were the terms and conditions relating to the person who was owed the money. Did the party have to be paid by that Friday? Did the FAI have 28 days to make the payment? What were the terms of credit for that specific bill? Does anybody know?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: That is what we are here for. All the questions are about that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I am being fair. I am not asking our guests to tell me to whom the money was due.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: What were the terms of credit? Did the FAI only have until the Friday to pay it? The organisation must have known it was coming. Was there not enough money in the other 12 accounts? Is that a fair question? Our guests do not know the answer to that either.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: It is a lot better than the reason our guests are here today.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I want to be clear on this. I am not asking who it was for; I am just asking under what category the expenditure was and how long were the terms of credit. Let us be honest-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: We are here to discuss this €100,000. It is the only issue and we do not know the simple answers to the question of how long the FAI had to pay that €100,000. Our guests do not know the answer.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I seek clarity on the additional statement we did not receive with the information packs this morning. Did Grant Thornton sign off on the statement? Did it agree with everything in it?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: Did it agree with all the phraseology, such as that on cheques as opposed to transfers. It seems very unusual for an accounting practice. The financial controller is going to send us the terms of credit for the €100,000, including the date by which it was to be paid back. Given that the witnesses were raising this as part of what we were talking about today and given the very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Seanad: Transport Matters: Statements (4 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming to the House to outline some of the issues. I was briefly going through his speech and I highlighted how much of it related to Dublin and how much related to the rest of Ireland. I do not think there is a great balance to be honest. I am keen to focus briefly on one issue that comes in under transport. I have put in a question on organ donation twice in the...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Organ Donation (3 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: Needless to say, I am disappointed that the Minister of Health is not here to discuss the issues of organ donation and organ donor awareness. The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, was also unable to come to take this matter. It is a matter of life and death for some. The specific issue I raised last year has not been advanced by either Minister. I thank Mr. Mark...
