Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It had potentially exceeded its overdraft and had to take extraordinary measures but the extraordinary measure it took put the board in trouble with Sport Ireland because of the obligation to let Sport Ireland know that its finances had significantly deteriorated. This payment was not thought to be something the board should know but who would normally give the board that kind of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Football Association of Ireland (10 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I completely understand that and I understand that this is not a business in the normal sense of the word. We do not need to go into great detail on that point.

Catherine Murphy: How could Sport Ireland have confidence in the way the public money was spent? There were terms and conditions associated with funding and that is why Sport Ireland has suspended payment of funds. I regret that as well and I regret the fact that we are discussing this matter.
