I suppose the broader point is that €15 million of public money has been extended to an organisation. I ask Mr. Doyle to comment on the decision of representatives of the Peter McVerry Trust not to attend this meeting and be beside him here answering these questions. Mr. Doyle must feel like that is a little bit ungrateful when the organisation his Department took fairly significant steps to fund - in some cases, as outlined, being forced to breach the circular - and ultimately provided with €15 million to provide services, has decided not to be here today.
