I acknowledge that Mr. Doyle cannot justify it as he was not there. It is not justifiable, but surely there should be more intervention. It was the council's money then and it is now the public coffers. I appreciate Ms Ryan's point that the Department does not get involved if it is the authority's money but surely if we have ended up in a scenario where it is now coming from the public purse, there must be a change in policy.
