2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: Is it not strange that Sport Ireland has no role in stating what we need to do and that this is how it should be administered, and to join up the dots with that work that it does?

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Alan Kelly: I just think that day is over. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. 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.

- Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Bus Services (20 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: 226. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he would consider asking Bus Éireann to make a small amendment to its timetable for the Sligo and Galway buses to facilitate those travelling to Limerick (details supplied). [29619/23]

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...

Alan Kelly: I know, that is why I asked Mr. Foley.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: It was to see if I could get a fresh view.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: I am sorry to interrupt Mr. Foley, but time is precious. I am really asking him - it would not be fair to ask Dr. May because she is the chairperson - whether he thinks Sport Ireland's role needs to slightly change and evolve because of this gap. There is no official regulator. We obviously have the ODCE and the Charities Regulator for small organisations. Then there is Sport Ireland,...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: There is that gap. From the point of view of public demand, that gap will have to be filled somehow. I do not believe this is through setting up another organisation.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: In the future, we might look at a recommendation from this committee in relation to that role, because there is that gap and I think everyone sees it now. My second question relates to the recent FAI report in relation to future development. It is a very interesting report and I think it is quite a good report as regards setting out the lack of investment, particularly at a grassroots...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: I know the representatives have not offered an opinion, but I am asking Dr. May her opinion now. What is her opinion on it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: If the FAI were to write to Sport Ireland with a business case based around it, would they offer an opinion on it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: I know that, but what about if they were to ask for Sport Ireland's opinion? They are Sport Ireland at the end of the day.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: Sorry, no. I do not agree.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: I do not really agree with that. This is another example of confusion. My third question will go into that. That is Sport Ireland's role. Their role is development. They cannot develop anything without capital. How can Dr. May say it is not their role? Basically, some silo in the Department decides we will build this, that and the other, and then Sport Ireland says "yeah that's grand"....
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: I am not asking Dr. May to do that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021 - Sport Ireland and Sport Ireland Facilities DAC (15 Jun 2023)
Alan Kelly: Sorry, I have only a minute. That is good news. I am delighted to hear a full audit is being done. Because of Covid, that was much-needed because we learned a lot during Covid. Sport Ireland is doing a facilities audit across sports but cannot have an opinion on capital funding from the Department and there is a disconnect there. That is another recommendation, Chairman, we might look...
