Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Séamus McGrath (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail)
We do not have the power to go in and audit an organisation on a routine basis and check its activities against standards as ABHRA does. Typically, we need to see that there is some issue before we go in. As I have said, we do have lots of issues raised with us. Our plan is absolutely to try to redress the balance and do more proactive work, whereby we will use whatever information is available to us to risk rate other charities in their own right without having concerns raised with us.
