For 17 years, the person who did the books of the Peter McVerry Trust also audited its activities. It is no wonder there was no external oversight.

The Comptroller and Auditor General was never involved in auditing the books of the Peter McVerry Trust. I find it very hard to understand why the Department never authorised the auditing of the books of the Peter McVerry Trust by the Comptroller and Auditor General.

I thank Mr. Doherty very much.
