With regard to fiduciary funding within the universities that come under the National University of Ireland where people would give funds to different faculties, the Comptroller and Auditor General spoke about money moving in the reverse direction where people take funds from the budgetary fund of the university and put it into funds. Many people would give generously to different research facilities and they would prefer not to have the source of such funding made available. The heads of faculties would be engaged in research and development and would earmark funding from high-tech companies and so on. Is it the Comptroller and Auditor General's intention to audit those as well?
