Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The Department of Finance manages that.

The local loans fund is an account that is not used very much. It was for the provision of loans to local authorities and for the recovery of those. The heritage fund is under whatever it is called now - the Department responsible for heritage. Again, that is a small fund. I would have to refresh my memory on the scale of operation of it but it is a grant giver.

NSCDA is a subsidiary of Sport Ireland. It operates some of the facilities in Abbotstown. Aspects of it are run on a commercial or quasi-commercial basis. If the committee wanted to examine those, it could bring in Sport Ireland and NSCDA and they could be examined together.

On the hepatitis C accounts, I did a chapter a couple of years ago in respect of that. I can get the Deputy a copy of it. It explains the structure. They are very complicated accounts in the way they operate. What I tried to do with the chapter was to give an overview of it but there are persons affected by the hepatitis C scandal who are still in receipt of funds in certain ways. Obviously, it is not operating on anything like the scale it did a number of years back. One of the things that was significant when I was doing the chapter was a scheme to actually cure hepatitis C and there does seem to have been a lot of success with that.
