On my way in this morning, I listened to the chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts speak about the money the State has provided to Rehab and other section 38 organisations. I am also conscious of the fact that in the area of the arts, about €123 million is being provided by the State to the film industry and to the Arts Council. People are anxious to know how public money is being expended and what salaries are being paid to people who are paid from the public purse.
