I welcome Ms O'Donoghue. I have previously raised the issue of fraud. It is much easier to ensure money is not paid to people who are not entitled to it than trying to pull it back or reducing it and changing the criteria for people who are entitled to it. Is there a fraud project team set up with a person leading it?
