Is The Atlantic Philanthropies funding being used to supplement staff costs for the agency because of central funding shortfalls? Are these staff engaged on specific projects tied to the qualifications for grant funding as described on page 41 of the submission?

They are giving €8 million over three years to achieve "prevention and early intervention into the culture and operation of the new national family support system". Are we happy that the money is all going to achieve that?
