Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Joanna Byrne (Louth, Sinn Fein)
I am out of time. Mr. Kelly's lack of answers when he was given the opportunity gave the answers that were needed.
In relation to the bailout and the assets that were to be transferred back to the State, can the trust confirm if any of these assets that are agreed to go back to the State were never bought with State money in the first place? How were they acquired? Were they acquired through fundraising or charities' money? How were they acquired in the first place?
