Mr. Conor Dunne:

There were two sources of funding, the first from Pobal, which was spent on materials, and the second from FÁS, which was used to pay workers on the jobs initiative, JI, scheme. The project involved refurbishment of a famine hostel outside Tipperary town. There are a number of items included in the €150,000. Pobal is conducting an investigation, which I understand is also with the Garda Síochána. Wearing the State's hat, we provided funding for the scheme which, in our view, was not spent correctly.
