We would have to bring in officials from the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine if we were to do that. I had an issue I was pursuing relating to a particular grant of money but when I sought accountability on how that money was spent it was very problematic. If the Chairman were to seek to raise an issue with the Department, I suggest it should be its level of oversight of when funding is provided. The Department will tell the Chairman that the organisation is a separate body and that the Department provides the grant aid but it is the oversight that is the problem.
