It is entirely unsatisfactory that an organisation to which we provide $260,000 acted in the manner it did but this committee does not get a report to allow us to decide whether it offered value for money. We do not want to send everything to the Committee of Public Accounts because it has enough on its plate. If the Department is not going to give us a report we should write to the organisation concerned to ask for one. When a Government gives €260,000 to an organisation we should expect more than a reference to a parliamentary question. If an organisation which gets our money submits a report, it should be made public because we are entitled to find out when something goes wrong. One does not have to be a member of this committee to read a parliamentary question. I am asking for a report.
