That is very unsatisfactory. When anything like that arises there should be an immediate process of notification, because that is where the oversight is. On page 11 of the report we are told that accumulated funds made by the college restaurant and shop were transferred to Sportsfield Company Limited or invested in various investment accounts. It seems to have been quite a generator of income. If we turn to page 27 there appears to be money transferred into the account to keep the restaurant going when the moratorium was fully in place, but there seems to be money going into that account even in years when it was making a surplus. Was it just an account that money went through and then went to the Sportsfield account?
