FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Much as my own salary is in the public domain. There is a line in Mr. Hill's opening statement on which I want to pick him up. He stated, "MOU condition No. 35 covered the CEO's remuneration and required it to be in line with Government pay guidelines for a Secretary General." That is not quite what No. 35 of the MOU states "remuneration of the Chief Executive will be in line with...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: So it does not specify that it must be paid at that level. There is a glaring omission, which predates Mr. Ó Coigligh's time in the Department, which is that it does not specify which grade of Secretary General.

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I know the rates have changed with the Building Momentum increases. Currently, there is a difference of €28,045 between grade 1 and grade 3. Is that correct?

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The grade 1 salary is €258,825. For context, the Taoiseach gets paid €233,828, so there is €25,000 of a difference. The Taoiseach is paid €25,000 less than a grade 1 Secretary General. I will ask about the implementation of the Building Momentum pay increases. There has been quite a shift in terms of the pay that is received by Secretaries General. How...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It would not be incumbent upon Mr. Hill to try to negotiate down his salary. I just wonder about it from the FAI point of view. It seems to have regarded this as a target rather than a ceiling. It took the highest possible interpretation of commitment No. 35 in the MOU. I will just dig down into Ms Joyce's email of 6 December 2022. Could I clarify a point with you, Chair? It is that...

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: That is despite a clear recommendation from Ms Joyce in this email that Ms Rafferty should consult Mr. Hill and clarify his request by taking out of the equation the confusion he raised in his earlier exchanges. Mr. Hill's contention and position is that Ms Rafferty never spoke to him in order to clarify that request and set out those grounds for exception. The first that Mr. Hill knew...

In its opening statement, Sport Ireland outlined that corrective actions were taken afterwards. Was repayment of the excess part of the corrective action?

FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024) Marc Ó Cathasaigh: That money has been recouped by the FAI. That, at the very least, is good to hear. I have some questions for the representatives of Sport Ireland. We seem to have sporting organisations before the committee more often than I would like. We have a line of sight on the departmental funding and how it comes to be with Sport Ireland. We see how it is disbursed among the national governing...

I will direct most of my questions to people from EnergyCloud Ireland. I might come back to Mr. Boland afterwards. I know Senator Garvey will be anxious to interrogate his work.
