Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I hope members of the committee are happy with that. My other correspondence relates to the RSA and a matter that was raised by road hauliers. The Committee of Public Accounts is also examining that matter but, given it concerns the RSA, it also falls under the remit of this committee. I did not realise the RSA has €25 million in the bank. That is a serious amount. It has...

Has a regulatory impact...

Those of us in Fianna Fáil and in politics heard of the legend of Rory Kiely and...
