Public Accounts Committee

Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Fergal O'Leary:

We carry out assessments and we publish the outcomes of our assessments on our website. They can be compliant, non-compliant and working towards compliance or non-compliant and statutory action is required. We currently have a number of AHBs, around ten, that are in a fairly extensive monitoring programme with us. We have identified issues that need to be addressed and we have seen AHBs over the past couple of years come into that process and come out of it fine on the other side. The assurance I can give is that there is nothing on the scale or level of PMVT that we have seen over the years. Our report outlined a litany of failures across the organisation. We have not seen that elsewhere.
