- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
John O'Mahony: I thank our guests for their presentations and for their ongoing work on the issue. I return to a point made by Mr. Treacy about Sport Ireland's meeting with the FAI last Friday, at which Sport Ireland outlined its concerns about a completely new board. Did I read that correctly?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
John O'Mahony: I agree and I am glad those points of clarification were made. I prepared questions based on our guests' opening statements, which suggested they all were happy with the progress, but then the Minister's letter was published yesterday evening.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
John O'Mahony: To return to a point made by Senator Feighan, the presentation made to us by the athletes made it sound as if there is a loophole. I agree with what Mr. Treacy stated. Perhaps it is a technicality. One can argue that it is not a sporting issue, but it is a big issue for those involved. In the Olympics, there is no issue with people opting for the UK or Ireland. In the case of the IAAF,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
John O'Mahony: It is an issue of minutiae but not for the very genuine people it affects. The report states that there has been no correspondence on this. Would it be possible for Sport Ireland to meet the athletes at some stage?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland (17 Jul 2019)
