Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: To come back to the corporate governance issue and what I read out from the Department, I did not realise that is where it came from but does Mr. Treacy agree that that is what has been agreed with the FAI regarding the terms for the rotation of the board? It states that it was agreed that any board member who was chairperson of a standing committee of the national league executive committee...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: That is fine. When we had the Minister before this committee in 2017, I asked him about the independent people on the board and he said he would consider doing something about that at that point. Clearly, that has not happened up to now but does Sport Ireland have ongoing engagement with the FAI on the rotation of the board?

Catherine Murphy: I understand.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It may well be in our interest to have the Minister come in at some point because he has given a commitment on that. That might be something we would come back to, possibly tomorrow. Regarding the loan, one of the issues I would ask Sport Ireland to examine is that the loan was given at a particular time of the year and we were then told it was paid following the submission of an invoice....

Catherine Murphy: Can I ask-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: Can Mr. McGinty recall if there was such a recommendation made in 2016 when it was one of the headings?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It might be that people in some organisations are fearful, particularly in smaller organisations where people with concerns have to continue working. I may address that issue with the FAI next week. Would Sport Ireland be made aware of any abnormal pay-out for things such as court activity in respect of harassment or such issues? Would it be brought to the attention of Sport Ireland?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: It would tell us something about the health of an organisation also. If substantial financial implications were involved and an organisation was going to end up in court, would it need to tell Sport Ireland? There is a reputational risk involved.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Funding Granted by Sport Ireland to the Football Association of Ireland and Related Matters: Discussion (3 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: I am nearly finished. I will move back to the issue of staff turnover at a high level and the impact on an organisation's functioning. I read a newspaper article in which it was mentioned that people were complaining about things like internal relationships, not being able to talk to the same person repeatedly, the lack of continuity, etc. Would Sport Ireland enter into dialogue with an...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: The Tánaiste did not answer any of my questions. Will Project Ireland 2040 have to be revisited? From where will the extra money come? We have been told by the Taoiseach and departmental officials that it is going to cost multiples of €500 million, so what is going to fall out of the Project Ireland 2040 plan? These are very important questions and we want to hear an answer to...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Apr 2019)

Catherine Murphy: We heard about the current status of the national broadband plan from officials of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment at the Committee of Public Accounts last week. The plan and the extremely faulty process associated with it have been subject to questions and concerns. Those questions have yielded few answers to date. The provision of effective and affordable...
