I agree with everybody who has spoken that it is totally unacceptable that the Peter McVerry Trust did not come before us today. There is an onus on the Department, the Government and the Minister to ensure that governance is carried out for all charitable organisations that receive money from their Departments. The 2023 accounts have to come before us. The Peter McVerry Trust will have to come before us at that stage as well. It is very disappointing that it has not come here today to let us question it on what has gone on. The Department, the Government and the Minister should be putting in governance structures to ensure that charitable organisations are held accountable.
