It is not as if that structure went from one country to another. It went between two Departments. You are all civil servants. Surely the background to the charities structure and any issues that might have been there would have been given from the Department of Finance to your Department. Did anyone have any engagement with the charities sector prior to the investigation of section 39 and section 38 organisations? Did the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform have anything to do with it? Have you any comment to make on the charity end of it?
