We have heard from Waterways Ireland as well about the impact the absence of ministerial decisions has on it when it comes to resources. I wonder if the public needs to hear about projects that cannot be delivered because of our not having a fully functional North-South Ministerial Council for effectively seven years, between all the stops and starts.
I have one other question, slightly linked to what the Cathaoirleach asked. We have had claims in this committee before about public funding potentially going to groups that are linked to paramilitaries. How does Ms McIntyre navigate that in her organisation? Is it on her radar, in that she does not want money becoming bad money?
