Someone made reference to procurement rules not being adhered to over a considerable length of time. That is established now. Reference was also made to the Dublin housing first. The trust strayed into that area and some of the difficulties started to emerge from that point. There has been considerable concern about deficit funding and the undercutting and underbidding. The estimated cost of delivering the Dublin housing first scheme in 2019 was €16.4 million. Peter McVerry ended up securing the contract for €6.3 million, which was less than 40% of what the overall cost was going to be. Was that picked up by anyone? This was in 2019. I think Ms Delaney made reference to the housing first model.

Is that something the Charities Regulator would look at in terms of funding?
