Public Accounts Committee

Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Madeleine Delaney:

I would say it was coincidental. What gave rise to that in part was that we each received the notification from the charity at the time therefore the flag was raised at the same time. From the perspective of the Charities Regulator, we went through the process of obtaining the information to decide what we needed to do and it took about a month to get the information from the trust. Then a recommendation goes in and the appointment is made but there was no arrangement about the timing of the appointment.
