My understanding of the process is that funding is a massively important issue, and transparency in the spending of this funding is very important to Teachtaí Dála. We have a responsibility to make sure on behalf of citizens that we know the money is being spent correctly. Therefore, if there is an issue such as a confidentiality agreement or a non-disclosure agreement with one of the partnerships, it makes our oversight opaque. It makes it impossible for us to understand exactly what is happening in the Leader organisations. This is why I have asked the question.
