Mark Daly: I asked a question and it has not been answered.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: On the specific issue of the money, the FAI had 24 accounts, 11 of which were allocated to specific projects. It had 13 other accounts, only one of which was used to pay money. The other 12 accounts did not cumulatively contain €100,000 that could be transferred into the operational account.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: Let us be honest: that is the most obvious question. The FAI drew down a loan from a member of staff. If it knew it was going to be short of money, the first thing it would do is look at the other accounts to see if it had enough money to cover the debt. Mr. O'Connell has not had sight of or brought information on how much money was in the remaining 12 accounts in that week.

Mark Daly: Mr. O'Connell does not have that information for the committee.

Mark Daly: It seems that the association will have to revert to the committee on many issues. One must bear in mind that the governance review is helpful and so on. Deputy Rock raised a very specific point about it being signed off by the board and then sent, but there was a delay and there it seems to have been edited. Mr. Conway made the point that there was a technical edit. Many documents...

Mark Daly: I have no problem with that. By way of example, the committee previously held meetings in regard to the coastguard. Under freedom of information, we requested the original draft of a report and compared it with the one presented to a Minister. Everything that was harmful to the people before the committee had been removed from the latter version. We are talking about establishing...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: No, there was one cheque. The FAI got an email the day after it was looking for the money. There was one cheque and the FAI knew it was coming. For how long did it know it was coming? How long did it have to pay it? For how long was it legally obliged to pay it? The cheque was made available by the former CEO and lodged, ready to be used if it came down. Did it have to be paid by that...

Mark Daly: Does Mr. O'Connell know the answer to my question?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: Members are asking about €100,000 that we know was due. There was no money available in the other accounts and the witnesses cannot tell the committee for what was the bill. Was it for infrastructure? For what was the bill?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: I am not asking what it was for. To whom was the bill due? Was it a club? Did it relate to infrastructure or wages?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: Mr. Conway can do so. I am not asking to whom it was due; I am asking what it was for.

Mark Daly: I am asking what it was for.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: No, I am not asking what the bridging loan was for. I am talking about the bill of €100,000 that had to be paid that the organisation knew was coming. Was it for infrastructure or was a club due the money? What were the terms of payment? Did it have to be paid by that Friday or was it the following month? Was the organisation given 28 days to pay it? What were the terms of credit?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: What is not clear is when it had to be paid.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: What our guests are not able to tell us is what exactly were the terms and conditions relating to the person who was owed the money. Did the party have to be paid by that Friday? Did the FAI have 28 days to make the payment? What were the terms of credit for that specific bill? Does anybody know?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: That is what we are here for. All the questions are about that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: I am being fair. I am not asking our guests to tell me to whom the money was due.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: What were the terms of credit? Did the FAI only have until the Friday to pay it? The organisation must have known it was coming. Was there not enough money in the other 12 accounts? Is that a fair question? Our guests do not know the answer to that either.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: It is a lot better than the reason our guests are here today.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)
Mark Daly: I want to be clear on this. I am not asking who it was for; I am just asking under what category the expenditure was and how long were the terms of credit. Let us be honest-----
