Public Accounts Committee

Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Fergal O'Leary:

No. What I would be clear on here is that when we conduct an investigation, we know that it can impact on various State bodies. What we did was we publicised it as much as we could to put it into the hands of anybody who would need it. In this particular case, there was not a specific thing that we saw that made us take a proactive step to give it to a particular party.
