- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: Before Mr. Christle gets back to the first piece, on that point would he accept that section 11 of the Sport Ireland Act 2015 sets out clearly the criteria, terms and conditions of assistance provided by that body to the IABA? It allows it particular powers to establish different criteria in that regard and it might be well asserted that it was simply exercising its rights under the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: The IABA went on in that statement to state the following:This, we believe is yet another clear example of Sport Ireland’s officials seeking to go beyond their authority and its statutory mandate and act Ultra Vires their statutory power or remit. The agency has a track record and form in this regard and has paid dearly for it in the past. Why did the IABA think it necessary to...

Timmy Dooley: I think Mr. Christle has let the cat out of the bag.

Timmy Dooley: I just wanted to point out that Mr. Christle let the cat out of the bag.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: I thank everyone for this open engagement. It has been helpful, although whether it gets us to where we need to be is another question. From what we have heard over the course of today and what we have read in recent days, Mr. Walsh was head coach and thede facto high performance director even though he had never been appointed to the latter role. Something was stated that I was not aware...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: Who was that person? I presume that it is a matter of record.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: He did not take up the position. It could be inferred from that that Mr. Walsh felt out of sorts because he was not the chosen one. He was offered another position. This sets the context in which he began his discussions with the IABA following an offer that he would have had to consider, given that the IABA was never going to make him the high performance director. In February, he got an...

Timmy Dooley: What was the IABA's initial reaction?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: Yes, we have covered that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: I asked the question because I read of an indication that Mr. Christle and Mr. Carruth's initial reaction was to manage the situation and issue a joint press statement. Is that true?

Timmy Dooley: Then, just one final-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: I will conclude on this point. On the premise that Billy Walsh had proven himself time out of number and was worthy of the title of high performance director, was consideration given to going with that and all that flows from the position of director, in terms of answerability and being able to decide himself? I do not wish to nit-pick but Mr. Christle made a point earlier in which he...
