Sport Ireland Bill 2014: Committee Stage
10:30 am
Terry Brennan (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I commend the Minister of State on the one-year appointment. Section 34 deals with liabilities and my recollection is that there are outstanding High Court cases.What is the approximate cost of these cases? It must be approximately €1 million at this stage and they are still not complete. It would be better to spend the outstanding moneys on sports facilities as is done with the sports capital grant. Will these liabilities carry on to the new board? In the past it was a Fianna Fáil man or woman for life and I congratulate the Minister of State on his approach.
