Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John McGuinness: Dr. Pearse Lyons spoke about a sponsorship package covering the total cost of the event. The cost of hosting the event was stated to be $25 million, most of which would have been put up by a company sponsor. Efforts were made locally, according to the article, by interested parties who would like to see this huge event fill hotels and guest houses, but nothing happened. Why was this? The...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John McGuinness: Did Horse Sport Ireland ask the Irish Sports Council about this event? I am interested in this because of the spin-off it would have had for small businesses and many others. Did Horse Sport Ireland consult the Irish Sports Council? The newspapers state an RTE interview was the first time Pearse Lyons made it known publicly he was willing to underwrite the entire event. Was the Department...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John McGuinness: Maybe you did not because the event was not held here. I am interested in how the Irish Sports Council promotes itself and what went on at the time. Perhaps Mr. Morgan might give an explanation in response to this. He can come back to us after the meeting. It was reported as being true in the newspapers that interested parties in the horse business in Ireland were willing to assist in the...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John McGuinness: That may be the case, but I am referring to what I have read in the newspapers. I appreciate paper never refuses ink, but perhaps the Department might use its pen to describe to me what happened at the time. It is important the taxpayer and the hospitality sector understand if there is another story to this. It seems to be a missed opportunity but I am willing to be convinced otherwise if...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John McGuinness: The reason I ask, and I will not go into detail, is that I have e-mails regarding a promoter of international horse events of one kind and another and I am not impressed by the length of time it took for somebody in Horse Sport Ireland, which is in receipt of a €5 million turnover, to reply. That Horse Sport Ireland, HSI, which is in receipt of funding of €5 million per annum,...

Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council (2 Oct 2014) John McGuinness: I will go back to the questions that were asked about Horse Sport Ireland. I know Deputy Collins put a question to Mr. Treacy on Dr. Reed's letter. Alongside Dr. Reed's letter there was a sort of report and commentary on the points he was making. Deputy Collins asked whether the council would meet him, which is fine. If I read the letter coldly, I would be concerned about the issues that...
