To summarise, we will give Mr. O'Brien the extracts of the previous committee meeting where he gave a commitment. We will stress this issue is strictly a financial issue and is 100% within the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts. Other organisations of the State may choose to do so and while they do so, the Committee of Public Accounts does not stand down from its obligations to look after public funds. This involves €600,000 or thereabouts that goes from the HSE, which is taxpayers' money, to the organisation that was wrongfully deprived of that sum over a period so that it could provide the services Grace should have got over all of those years.
