- Standing Orders 21 and 22: Motion (30 Apr 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I ask the Ceann Comhairle to allow a bit of latitude. I sympathise with the situation and have no doubt that individual Members and expert groups are doing their absolute best. Surely it is in the interests of democracy and the upholding of the Constitution itself that all 160 Members might have an opportunity to examine, rather than just accept and comment upon, such experts' advice so...

- Standing Orders 21 and 22: Motion (30 Apr 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I do not want to delay the House. I would most respectfully ask that the Ceann Comhairle might consider my points in the same spirit in which they are being given, which is in the interests of democracy and the functioning of this House. I would never want to undermine whatever is in the best interests of health and safety for Members and staff. I think, however, we have a growing and...

Marc MacSharry: I offer my condolences to all the families who have lost a loved one in recent times and I pay tribute to all our frontline workers, predominantly in the healthcare area but also those manning our supermarkets and all essential services throughout the country. They are heroes all. I congratulate the Minister for Health and the Government on their work so far, and the efforts they and all...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Apr 2020)
Marc MacSharry: I agree with the two Deputies who have outlined why we should sit. Some commentary in recent days in the media and elsewhere has been regrettable. In some way, Parliament is being seen as an optional extra, rather than the constitutional imperative it is. I sympathise with your efforts, a Cheann Comhairle, and those of staff of the House in seeking to find a remedy which honours the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)
Marc MacSharry: I welcome everybody. I am going to be quick. Where a “Yes” or “No” answer applies, will the witnesses opt for it as opposed to talking down the clock? For all of us it is unacceptable what happened. All the witnesses have read the KOSI report. We have not. We are questioning in a vacuum as a result. The witnesses’ legal advice is exclusive to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)
Marc MacSharry: There have been some press reports and it has been alleged to me that following the publication of The Sunday Timesarticle back in March, the FAI had an impromptu board meeting in Gibraltar at which the then CEO tendered his resignation and left the meeting. It is further alleged to me that he called Mr. Mulvey and following that returned to the meeting and resumed the position as CEO. Is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (18 Dec 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Some of that funding for development officers and the programmes would come from local authorities, some from the FAI directly and the balance from the State. Where is the rest of the money coming from? Is Sport Ireland funding it all?
