Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Fergal O'Leary:
I would not say it is normal practice but it can happen. We look at why there are separate bank accounts and what scrutiny is placed on payments in and out of those. The number of accounts is not an issue; it is about how they are used. To add to a previous answer, there were a lot of delays in getting information from the trust over those 14 months, which did not help.
