Obviously, the committee has highlighted the good work being done by the Peter McVerry Trust on the ground and there was an obligation on the Department to ensure it continued. The Comptroller and Auditor General, however, has made some strong points concerning the advancing of funds without, in some cases, the necessary approval from the Department of public expenditure and reform or Mr. Doyle's own Department in the case of the Dublin Region Homeless Executive. I ask Mr. Doyle to comment on this matter.
