Ms Hurley just mentioned Pobal. I have come across people who applied for funding under Pobal but who did not get a sufficient amount for their projects to go ahead. I am concerned about the review process that exists where an inadequate amount of funding is provided and where there has not really been a proper assessment. How is the work of Pobal reviewed by the Department?
