Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick County, Fine Gael)

I was notified about this on my way home from Áras an Uachtaráin by the Secretary General after receiving my seal of office. Pretty much every day since then has been dominated by this issue within the Department and how we were going to address it, rebuild confidence and show the artists who are receiving the €141 million we are not in any way going to go after them. This is not about punishing a whole community for a total waste of public money.
