- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: I remind the Minister that last week he gave me a reply on an issue related to driving licences that had nothing to do with the legislation. I will not take over his job but ask him to do it. He has been asked to provide extra powers.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: We are talking about specific legislation, the Sport Ireland Act, yet the Minister has asked me, as a legislator, to bring forward further legislation to give him powers he already has. Is that not a bit much? He was supposed to come here with solutions, not problems.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: The Minister is telling me to introduce legislation when he already has the power. Is he not aware that he already has the power to give Sport Ireland the powers for which it is asking to prevent this from happening again?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: I have a question for the Minister on that clear point which was also raised by Deputy Coppinger. If we continue to say chief executives of sports organisations are using the money in their accounts to meet lavish expenses, for the payment of rent and other things, it is related to the fact that the taxpayer is plugging the hole. If they were not spending the money to fly to Rio de Janeiro,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: I have a number of questions about the specifics. At the meeting last night the delegates were not told that the auditors were coming or that they were going to file the paperwork with the Companies Registration Office and that there might be issues of concern with the accounts. Were the delegates given the original terms of reference for the Mazars report?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: My concern is the terms of reference. We were told last week about Grant Thornton. It has terms of reference from the FAI, as does Mazars. Are they going to allow Sport Ireland to write the terms of reference for this review, or are they going to do so and then tell the delegates about them?
