Mr. O’Leary said to Deputy Bennett that he has hope. It is one of the most disgraceful comments I have ever heard. Mr. O'Leary has "hope" in relation to this. There has been a €15 million bailout from the Irish people for the Peter McVerry Trust. They are sitting here listening to Mr. O'Leary say that he has hope in relation to ongoing monitoring and the correct governance being put in place. How do we know, in six months' time, that we will not have to bail it out again?
