I welcome Ms Farrell and all of the members of the Justice for Wards group. When vulnerable and innocent members of the public have empowered a public entity to manage a fund on their behalf and the fund has been depleted to the detriment of an individual, it has a serious long-term impact on his or her life. I was taken by one of the remarks made by Ms Farrell, that there was no due diligence process carried out by the State entity.
Does Ms Farrell have examples of a lack of diligence or due process in the management of the fund?
