On the issue regarding advances of funding on which Mr. Kissane may have touched in answer to my earlier question, an observation from the report is that in three of the 25 cases examined, 90% of the grant allocation had been paid out on the signing of the contract resulting in a risk exposure for the authority and, indirectly, for the State. At present, how does the authority deal with how it allocates the grant?
