- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: I refer to the funding of some of the smaller horse trial events run by HSI. Camphire is an example. Mr. Treacy is aware of the event, being from west Waterford. It has been built up over the past 14 years and has international status. I understand there are only two other three star courses in Ireland. I understand HSI provides a home international hosting grant of approximately...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: Some horse classes receive prize money from the HSI breeding committee. We have been relatively successful over recent Olympic Games. When I look at the Olympics and at our relative success over recent games, the equestrian area really stands out. For a very significant horse trial event, €5,000 seems like a very small sum. Should the Irish Sports Council consider funding these...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: I have no doubt that what ISC does is very difficult having regard to the number of sports it deals with, a budget that has been decreasing and the competitive aspect of different sports seeking their allocations. I make the case with regard to the equestrian field, however, that for something like this, which has grown over 14 years and become such an international event, €5,000 is a...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: I turn to another sport which may be underfunded - golf. Mr. Treacy mentioned in his opening statement the Team Ireland Golf trust programme. I understand it was started in 1999 for young professionals, male and female. Peter Lawrie, Shane Lowry and Michael Hoey have been funded under the scheme. I read somewhere years ago that there are more people registered as golfers than there are in...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: It is all around us. That is the case I make. Does ISC provide a block grant to GUI which then decides how much it allocates for the coaching of young golfers or does ISC have a hand in deciding how much young golfers get for coaching? Does ISC separate that out?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: How many applications would the Irish Sports Council have got, say, in 2012, which is the list I read?

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: I thank Mr. Treacy for his response. The transferring of decision-making to an organisation like the GUI is interesting. It shows a lot of confidence in the systems of the GUI but also from the standpoint of Mr. Treacy's agency. Does he have any other examples of that? Is that the only one it has done?

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: I have a final question, and I am not trying to catch Mr. Treacy out. There is the Alps Tour, the Challenge Tour and there may be others. Are there any people who applied but did not get the grant who ended up being successful on either the Challenge Tour or the Alps Tour? Seamus Power is playing on the E Golf Tour-----
- Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John Deasy: I know that he received support. Did people slip through the net in the sense that they did not get the grant and actually succeeded?
