I am a Member of the Oireachtas. I am not a subscriber to a newspaper. Information regarding public funds should be made available to me by public servants who report to this House and not by newspaper articles. I am not suggesting Mr. Hogan is responsible for that. The Department of Finance has a policy responsibility in this area to bring forward legislative changes where I identify a very clear governance gap and where there is no accountability or opportunity to interrogate the use or disbursement of funds under the Insurance Compensation Fund. I believe this is a matter for the Department and the Minister.
