Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Grace Boland (Dublin Fingal West, Fine Gael)
Following on from what Mr. O'Brien said, it is clear the €15 million was essential in making sure services continued. However, we have just spent a whole day hearing about irregularities and inappropriate corporate governance in the trust. It seems as though the €15 million, although I fully accept it was necessary to keep the trust open, did not go through the proper approval channels. It did not go through the Department of public expenditure. Will Mr. Kelly tell us why?
