Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Tony O'Brien:
The reason for the holdback is not to do with cash flow or capacity to pay. It is to do with our lack of satisfaction that the moneys are due. Obviously the people who raised invoices have a different view. There may well have to be a process determined judicially to see who is right and who is wrong. Given that these are public funds, we certainly will not be paying over any funds we are not satisfied are completely due to be paid. We have been transparent, with our regulators, the Department and the regional executive in relation to those matters.
