Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: I wish to focus on governance at the FAI. There have been reports of issues arising. It is widely accepted that things were not as they should have been. That is being charitable. Is the Department satisfied with the current governance arrangements in the FAI?

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: I will refer to what some call the bailout the FAI got, the €30 million rescue package. As I understand it, there was €30 million in loans and €20 million in non-refundable grants. Debts were restructured as well to stop the FAI from going into liquidation. Will Mr. Ó Lionáin outline to me the details of this package? Has the FAI started to pay back any of...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: Could we just go back on that for a moment? Something in the region of €50 million in public funds is being put in for the Ryder Cup. There is an issue regarding the contribution from Adare Manor, from the facility itself, and Ms Licken is saying it is commercially sensitive. There is no competitor at this point in the bid for who holds this. Is that correct?

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: The facility is obviously going to benefit massively from this. It will be lifted to new heights. That is accepted, and it is okay. It is a commercial entity, so it is fine that happens. Of course, the State in general and the south-west region in particular will benefit hugely. The Committee of Public Accounts wants to know who else is making the funding contribution here. Is the...
