Mr. John Treacy:

As I said, up to March of this year we were, for the three main fields of funding, relying on the organisation's auditors to give us a letter stating that the funding we gave them was expended for the purposes for which it was given. The Sunday Timesthrough Mark Tighe changed an awful lot in a very short period. It was a string that probably needed to be pulled, and things unravelled very quickly. Since then, we have highlighted how we have changed our terms and conditions of funding and how in future we will do in-depth audits of all the organisations we have funded. As I have said previously, this has changed things for a lot of sporting organisations. It has moved the goalposts significantly, to use a sporting term. All this work continues, but I said previously that we were well ahead of a lot of organisations that are giving State funding to the community, charitable and sporting sectors, so we are well ahead of the posse in terms of the audits we do.
