I am asking about minutes of meetings or engagements between the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and the Department of Rural and Community Development. There must be some record of the engagement with Ms Hurley's Department regarding the request that it would take Benefacts on board. What did the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform tell Ms Hurley's Department in that regard? She is telling us that there was something about procurement issues.
