Of the thousands of organisations that avail of this funding we have only a sample in front of us and I have given two examples where there major problems. I am sure the witness will understand that I am anxious on behalf of the people I represent that there is a difficulty in respect of governance, compliance and enforcement where there is an expenditure of €3.7 billion. Can Mr. O'Brien give us his view of what improvements have been made? I have read his opening statement and have read some other documents he supplied. These seem to suggest that his response involves more communication and form filling but is short on sanction. That concerns me.
