FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: I understand that communication with the council took place in September and not May of last year. Nothing at all happened for the six years after the association got the lease until September last year.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: This issue was highlighted in August. We have a growing area in Glanmire with a considerable young population who do not have access to sports facilities at a time when the association is sitting on 30 acres of land that is lying idle and growing daisies.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: The community is not patient. The community is concerned that there are young people who cannot get access to sports facilities in schools or sports clubs. I met 18 different sports clubs in the area, all of which are looking for facilities while the FAI is sitting on 30 acres.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: With support for local clubs, and remember that all the people in the local club are working on a voluntary basis, they have made more progress in the last two years than the FAI has in ten years in the area. They are all working on a voluntary basis yet the FAI has a whole professional organisation where there are highly paid people and there is a 30 acre site lying idle for over ten years....

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: Has there been any engagement with any organisation outside the county council on progressing this matter because there are a number of different sports organisations in the area that would use this facility?

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: That is six years after getting the lease. Even if we take it that the FAI got the lease in 2017, it was six years later that the association started looking at it.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: The local club is applying for planning permission on a totally different site because of what it was told. I met John Delaney down there some years ago and he told us quite clearly that the local club would not get the use of this facility. Therefore, it went off and got alternative land and there is a planning application in for it. That is on a completely different site.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: Would Mr. Courell not accept that FAI has land from a local authority from over ten years ago. Okay, Mr. Courell is saying the lease was only six years but it is still six years. The FAI has an obligation to work through, in a reasonably timely manner, when public land is made available for the development of sports facilities for young people in a particular area.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: On the basis that the FAI does not have funding and it is unlikely to have the appropriate funding to develop 30 acres within the next three to four years, would it not be an opportunity to sit down with other organisations to see how it can be worked out together? This is public money. This is public land that has been given to the FAI. The taxpayers own it, in real terms. It is not...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: My question is for Dr. May. In her statement, she said Sport Ireland is the statutory authority tasked with the development of sport in Ireland. It goes back to my question on the issue of Glanmire where there are growing urban areas and about the input of Sport Ireland and indeed the Department with local authorities in making sure there are adequate lands kept for the development of...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: That comes very much after the housing is dealt with. It does not get involved before the whole development plan for an area. It is a hit-and-miss operation.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: Does Mr. Ó Coigligh not think there is still a shortage of available facilities in urban areas like Dublin, Cork and Galway for a lot of sports organisations? If proper planning were done in a timely manner, that would not arise.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Colm Burke: Development in a lot of areas still depends on voluntary organisations acquiring the land, putting the entire project together and sometimes competing with developers and everyone else. I have never seen a developer come along and develop a whole facility at the same time as developing housing. There is then the issue of co-ordinating facilities, like having sports facilities near primary...
