Absolutely. It is very specific concerning grant aid and funding, particularly for the community and voluntary sector. What are the sources of information since the time in question? The reply we received back from the Department of Rural and Community Development is inadequate. The Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform is in control of what happens and will therefore have the final say. It must inform the committee what it will do to create a project that will deliver something comparable to what Benefacts was doing and also give the timeline for establishment. Reading the letter, I believe it could go on until eternity. The Deputy and I will be long gone by the time it is sorted.
