Mr. John Cregan:

There are a number of factors here. Under the memorandum and articles of association of the Care Trust, money raised through the lottery by the Care Trust is for the benefit of CRC, Rehab and the Mater Hospital. That money is paid into the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic but not withstanding the memorandum and articles of association of Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic, that money can only be used for the benefit of the CRC. The money was transferred by way of a donation from the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic to the CRC so ultimately the CRC got the €700,000. It is a moot point whether the amount was paid but the transaction was regular in the sense that the money raised by the Care Trust was paid into the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic and subsequently transferred to the CRC.
