Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
With regard to Caranua, the organisation is still in existence. It is operated now by the Department. In correspondence members have before them today, there is an explanation that it is waiting for legislation to be passed to complete the wind-down of the organisation. The inadequate controls referred to the controls that were put in place by the organisation which did not fully operate and, as a result, we are lacking assurance that the moneys were applied and used for the purposes for which they were granted to the individuals. It is an issue that I have raised previously, in a way because there is very little left in the funds at this stage. It is a historical issue now and not an issue into the future.
Those were the couple of points. I am sorry, but I cannot remember the last point that was raised by the Deputy.
