However, the buck stops with Ms Graham. As she knows, these concerns have been flagged for a number of months. It is not good enough to accept what she is being told. Ms Graham she needs to show a lead on this and investigate what is happening here. Ultimately, we are questioning the appropriateness of the NTA's funding. These concerns have been ongoing for a number of months now. How often is it that Ms Graham gets so many Oireachtas Members all with the same concerns? Why is she taking a passive approach to this? Why is she not being proactive to forensically investigate and ensure that the funding the authority is providing is only being used for a specific purpose and for no other purpose, and is not involved in the displacement of private operators? That is certainly the concern of myself and others.
