FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) James O'Connor: Would it be fair to argue that the FAI misappropriated funds, given that the bulk of the Covid funding was used as a pretext to paying back debt?

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) James O'Connor: Regarding ensuring good governance and strong oversight, Sport Ireland recommended governing bodies establish a sub-committee to evaluate requests and make recommendations to the governing bodies' boards for final decision-making. This concerned guidance for funding to clubs, branches and affiliates. Does Dr. May have anything to say in response to what I have just said?

Several roads remain closed, especially rural and secondary routes and quite a...

I do not want to be overly parochial but I come from an area of Cork East that has long yearned for IDA focus and investment because there were huge issues with long-term unemployment. Youghal was once a...

James O'Connor: I understand and appreciate that. In east Cork, around the periphery of Cork city, it is no secret that there have been great achievements. However, IDA Ireland advance hubs have a role. To my great interest, I learned during the pandemic that many multinationals will not consider an external base unless they have secure premises. The likes of Apple and other major multinational tech or...
