Timmy Dooley: I have no doubt about that, but we need more than concern; we need action. If it is an issue of resources or a requirement for the RSA to be provided with more funding from the State, that should happen in the short term.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Proposed Merger: Irish Sports Council and National Sports Campus Development Authority (19 Feb 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I agree with everything Mr. Mulvey said. On the letters of appointment, while what was suggested by him might be a way of overcoming the problem, should additional criteria in this regard not be set out in the legislation?
