Money was moved out of a charity account for 94 days. This is a significant issue. What safeguards have been put in place regarding the charity aspect? As CEO of his organisation, does Mr. O'Loughlin believe that its work with the charities needs to be looked at? Is it part of his remit to manage the charity fund? Should other entities be involved in managing the fund? When one looks at IHRB's role as a regulator and how it is involved in the charity aspect, I am perturbed in the context of how they all fit together. Will Mr. O'Loughlin explain how they fit together and whether they way in which his organisation and the charities work together is appropriate and international best practice? How does it work?
