Mr. Blake just spoke about how organisations make their financial pitch. On any given year, HRI might make a fantastic pitch that would warrant additional funding while in other year, Bord na gCon might do the same but either organisation will rise or fall on the back of what has happened somewhere else. It does not appear to be a very appropriate way of expending public money.
