James O'Connor (FF), Cork East

Following this morning's farcical meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts in regard to the FAI, there are huge concerns around misappropriation of funds from Government - grant funding for sports organisations. Money was used that clearly defied the regulations set down and guidance by Sport Ireland to pay off approximately €1 million of legacy loans of the FAI to its creditors. Will the Government look at this as an immediate issue and look into some form of investigation or review in order to establish urgent answers to questions that were raised at this morning's meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts?
