Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Minority Sports and Women's Participation in Sport: Discussion. (11 Dec 2019)

Mark Daly: I have seen this in Kerry affecting women's Gaelic football. One might say that soccer, hockey, rugby, Gaelic football and hurling are competing sports. However, within each of those sports, women are being treated unequally for facilities, training time, pitch access etc. to the point where women often have to use inferior pitches. Is that something the women's hockey players are coming...

Mark Daly: The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and Mr. John Treacy will be before us in a week to discuss the issue of pensions.

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...

Mark Daly: I thank the Minister for coming in for the Second Stage debate on this Bill. We will also be discussing amendments on Committee Stage. I want to ask one simple question. The programme for Government contains a promise that regulatory impact assessments would be carried out on all legislation. This Bill will obviously put a particular onus on many housing bodies. Has a regulatory impact...

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