Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. David Kelly:
The Local Government Audit Service would have had sight of the money or contracts the Dublin local authorities had with the Peter McVerry Trust. However, it would not have had access to the trust's accounts. They are matters for the board, which comes through in the two regulators' reports. If you look at the investigation reports, that identifies the governance failings in terms of financial management as being at board level in the trust.
