I might come back to that at the next meeting with the Department. I do not see those donations reflected in the post-project review. In the absence of formal documentation, I will not waste any more time. We have been through this and the regulator is confirming what was in the report, with the exception of the Bord Fáilte advertisement for Galway, which hid the real serious issues.

One of the recommendations in the inspectors' report states, “The Charities Regulatory Authority should review the need for guidance in relation to trustees legal duties”. There was a serious problem with - I will put this as mildly as I can - the trustees’ awareness of their duties and responsibilities. The regulator made a general finding that trustees should be ore aware of their duties and it has a role in that. Another of the recommendations states "the Charities Regulatory Authority should consider furnishing a copy of this report as it deems relevant." Did the regulator send a copy of the report to the Department?
