Public Accounts Committee
Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Francis Doherty:
No, it was not on the table at all. There was no handover and there was no access to information. In fact, as I reference in the timeline document provided to the committee, my predecessor took a period of leave immediately after the AGM and when he did so he emailed me and other staff, including the finance team, to remind me that I did not have any control or insight into the finances until I became CEO on 1 June.
