Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Fergal O'Leary:
Correct. There is continuity in all aspects of this investigation. As the Deputy is alluding to, when we got that correspondence, that certainly raised the flag with us and then we took action as soon as we could. There are a number of processes we need to go through. Also - and I will be honest about this - an investigation is a last resort. That is why there was a number of meetings, information was sought but ultimately the decision was to have that investigation, and then that takes time.
