In light of what has been said by both Deputies, we will ask the clerk to examine how the Committee of Public Accounts might examine the issues involved. The position is that the State provides the money but has no connection with it thereafter. It is something similar to the position with regard to the section 39 issue. We should have some input into how the money is spent or at least some oversight in respect of it.
