I was struck by Mr. Goulding's opening statement. CRC does fantastic work. I have reviewed the original memorandum and articles of association of the CRC, of which Mr. Goulding's mother was the founding member. I want to divorce the work done by CRC and its staff and users of the facility from the structures. Mr. Goulding asked earlier why he is here today. The HSE is the custodian of taxpayers' money, €16 million of which is paid annually to the CRC. Mr. Goulding is here today so that the committee can question him in regard to whether funding provided by the HSE to the CRC is being properly spent on behalf of the taxpayer and in regard to CRC's adherence to section 38 provisions.
