Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Francis Doherty:
The explanation that I was given by my predecessor on the day the Deputy originally referred to was that it was for prepayment against works that were going to be done. The picture then shifted to it being actually in order to help that contractor deal with cash flow pressures that had built up, because the trust had substantial liabilities to it at that point.
