The committee dealt with an issue in respect of the North Meath Communities Development Association Limited in January last. There was a very detailed outline of where there should be a resolution to this matter. The matter has not been resolved. I know the committee also referred this matter to the Department of the Taoiseach in January. During the summer the North Meath Communities Development Association Limited held a meeting attended by some hundreds of people, including myself, the Minister of State, Deputy Helen McEntee, Deputies Thomas Byrne and Declan Breathnach, who is a former chairman of the health board. We are all looking for this matter to be resolved. The correspondence from the PAC committee in January set out over a number of pages a very clear list of recommendations. What is the position in respect of the recommendations?

Significant sums of money are involved. Given that the organisation in question is a voluntary body which provides assistance to people in north County Meath, I ask that the committee seek a resolution to the problem. As far as I am concerned, the Health Service Executive has changed the goalposts with regard to the recommendations that were made.
