If one is allocating money to fund particular projects or extending a loan, surely one will inquire about how much money the person involved already has in his or her possession. The HSE should have inquired about where the money it had allocated was going and how much was contained in the Friends and Supporters of the CRC fund. There is an acknowledgement that there was a separate fund, but it seems nobody from the HSE asked about it.
