No, but Pobal was mentioned and it is struggling. The difficulties it has experienced should be part of the analysis. If it is helping applicants and filling in application forms, as my colleague mentioned, it demonstrates that there is something wrong with the complexity of the thing. Pobal is key to asking about problems on the ground.
On Pobal, some of the moneys are administered directly from the Departments, and then Pobal administers a certain amount of the funds. What is the breakdown? How much of the funds does Pobal administer compared to the Department? What is the percentage?
