Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It might be that people in some organisations are fearful, particularly in smaller organisations where people with concerns have to continue working. I may address that issue with the FAI next week. Would Sport Ireland be made aware of any abnormal pay-out for things such as court activity in respect of harassment or such issues? Would it be brought to the attention of Sport Ireland?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It would tell us something about the health of an organisation also. If substantial financial implications were involved and an organisation was going to end up in court, would it need to tell Sport Ireland? There is a reputational risk involved.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I am nearly finished. I will move back to the issue of staff turnover at a high level and the impact on an organisation's functioning. I read a newspaper article in which it was mentioned that people were complaining about things like internal relationships, not being able to talk to the same person repeatedly, the lack of continuity, etc. Would Sport Ireland enter into dialogue with an...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Did we get any further correspondence?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Are we expecting further information from Dr. Keyes concerning those cases?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It is not necessarily all the same topic. Some of the legitimate points raised are issues for the board of KWETB. Some of them refer to failure at the Department of Education and Skills. Did we forward something to that Department on foot of the KWETB problems?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: We cannot do the work of the board. That is not our function. We have to separate these things out. Perhaps we could go back to the individual and point out the things that are properly within the remit of the board and then strip out the other things. We might then be able to see the wood for the trees.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: The board needed to address the question about legal advice and why the board was not consulted. If one does not change the culture at board level, change will not happen. It is not here that this needs to be heard but on the board.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Deputy Connolly's point is important, however. The Department of Education and Skills had a watching brief after the 2012 report. What emerged was a quite dysfunctional board and there is now a Garda inquiry into it. A full independent report has been done so it is not a minor deal. If the Department is going to have a watching brief or if it has issued a circular, we have to be sure it...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: In the third periodic report, which was published in May 2018, one aspect that we examined was RTÉ and the Eversheds review. I have been contacted by somebody to say the person is one of the people affected but that nothing has happened almost 12 months later. Can we have a full update on the progress on that in order that we can follow through on the matter? The committee had an...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: There was an expectation but almost 12 months later, nothing has happened. I presume that we will write back to RTÉ to seek an update and inquire whether there will be a full implementation of the report. Perhaps RTÉ will assure us in that regard.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Before we do the work programme, there are two reports that we expect to deal with. One relates to the national broadband plan and there is a time issue with that. When are we likely to receive a draft of it?
