Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: To clarify this, because there are taxpayers out there watching, with regard to the overall event coming to Ireland we have had to pay Ryder Cup Europe. Did the location have to pay Ryder Cup Europe as well?

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: We made a contribution towards bringing the Ryder Cup to Ireland which, by the way, I agree with. I was at the last one. I was working in Fáilte Ireland at the time. We do not know the total amount paid for the Ryder Cup to come to Ireland between public and private.

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: No, that is not what I asked. I asked how much we are paying collectively, public and private. Surely the taxpayers of Ireland would not be making a contribution if we did not know the total quantum amount. What I am trying to get at is the percentage being paid by the taxpayer versus the private amount. Surely there is no way it would be sanctioned by a Government, or by Dermot Nolan's...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: That is not what I asked. I will be very clear. A payment was made to Ryder Cup Europe. The taxpayer paid part of it or all of it. If it is all of it just say so. If it is not all of it then it had to be done in partnership so what was the total amount between public and private? Then we can deduct the public amount and find out the private amount. If Mr. Ó Lionáin does not...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: There is no problem with that, and time-wise it would be better. I ask the Department to provide all of this. Let us be clear that I have made these questions very obvious. I want to know the public versus private amounts paid for the Ryder Cup and the total amount paid in relation to the overall project, which is now €60 million. I ask the Department to break this down for us....

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: My next questions relate to sport. I was very complimentary to Sport Ireland last week but I was also taken aback. There is great confusion about its role. Sport Ireland is not regulator. It stated it has no role in large-scale capital allocations made directly from the Department or in sports capital. I will be honest; I was shocked by what happened with regard to sports capital funding...

Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: What shocked me was that Sport Ireland had no opinion on the FAI's large plan for €863 million. It had no opinion on it because that is not its role. How can Sport Ireland not have a role in this?

To ensure that capital is going where it should go optimally, it should go where Sports Ireland advocates. Otherwise bring it back into the Department. It should be one or the other. It is in a halfway house at present.

Alan Kelly: I welcome the witnesses. I compliment them on the work they did during Covid-19 to keep the show on the road. It was a big task and I saw it directly. I say "Well done" to them on that. My colleague went into the area I wanted to kick off on, which is the whole regulatory aspect of this. There is a misconception of what Sport Ireland does. I think they need to dial it up as regards...
