Public Accounts Committee

Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. David Kelly:

The issue was that there was an overrun on a capital project. DRHE worked with the trust and there was an intention to put a procurement expert into the trust. I might let my colleague Mr. White come in to clarify anything if he needs to because he worked on it. The view of the Department at the time was that an overrun on a capital project would not have been a signal that an organisation was in financial crisis.
