FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding (22 Feb 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank all of the witnesses for appearing this morning. I suggest it is probably a good morning for the Department and for Sport Ireland in that a lot of time is being devoted to the FAI. Hard questions should be put on the spending of large-scale sports capital infrastructure and perhaps we will not reach them because of other issues. I welcome Mr. Ó Coigligh to his new position....

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...

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.

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.

There has been quite a shift in terms of the pay that is received by Secretaries General. How...

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...
