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,...

Mark Daly: That is all the Minister can say, that he will consider it.

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?

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 associated with the information we were given last week by the FAI president when the FAI representatives were here. We were told that Grant Thornton was quite happy with the information we were getting on the loan of €100,000 and its payment. My concern which goes back to what Mr. Mulvey said is based on the question of who is auditing the auditors. We had the exact...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: Many of the questions have been asked already. I will not go into them in great detail but I would like to get clarity on some of them. On the issue of John Delaney's appointment to his new role, I do not know Mr. Delaney very well but I know that as an ambassador for Ireland and Irish sports he has done an amazing job and I am sure he will do an amazing job in this regard. He has worked...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Mark Daly: We have loads of women throughout our organisation, including spokespersons. Deputy Lisa Chambers is doing an excellent job on Brexit. I am sure if she were in Westminster, she would have sorted it out a long time ago, as would all of the women. As part of the governance review, the FAI should make sure the women's soccer team and all of the women who will, I hope, account for half of...
