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?

I thank the Deputy for raising this. Obviously, I was not in a position to watch the deliberations of the Committee of Public Accounts in respect of the Football Association of Ireland. I will have a look at them after. In the first instance, we will look at how the money was allocated. If funding is allocated, we want it to be spent for the purposes of the allocation.

It is becoming somewhat challenging though that increasingly the Oireachtas and the Government seem almost to have as their responsibility the micromanagement or the management of organisations of sport and, dare I say, broadcasting and other areas. This is a matter we should reflect on. We set up bodies, in this case a sporting body, that seek Government support. We provide the support at a substantial level. It is very high now. There should be adherence to it.

The Tánaiste is over time.

I have made my point.
