I have no criticism of the charity regulator. I am simply pointing out that he or she is under-resourced or understaffed. We tabled parliamentary questions on the matter and this is the end result. People's lives are affected and they are not being paid. Besides any difficulty with the service, it is disingenuous of the HSE to state Pieta House did not take over Console. That is exactly what happened from the perspective of all ordinary people watching. I know that it is a new organisation, but it took over Console with the knowledge of the Health Service Executive.
