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: 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)

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...

Seanad: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: I will comment on the point on which the Minister concluded. It is the issue in terms of the grouped amendments that includes amendment No. 21. It is very unusual to insert a specific figure in primary legislation, as the Minister has outlined, and that is why we are not supporting the particular proposal, along with the issue of the balanced approach report, the EU legislation and laws...

Seanad: Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (16 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: As we all know, putting a specific number into primary legislation is very unusual.
