The questions relate purely to the due...

Peadar Tóibín: We would appreciate that because it would be beneficial for us to understand the steps and mechanisms the Department goes through in any of these projects. I ask that question because there is a responsibility on Deputies and Senators to have levels of oversight of the spending of State money with regard to such projects.

Peadar Tóibín: Another aspect that caused me some concern was the fact that some of the promoters of the project were also the people who were to benefit financially from it. Did that raise eyebrows in the Department? I refer to some of the individuals behind the project. I understand the project was promoted by a partnership of Victoria House, NUI Galway, the county council and so on and that some of...

Peadar Tóibín: Tá cúpla ceist agamsa. Tá go leor pléite ag an Seanadóir Ó Clochartaigh a bhfuil suim agam ann.

I ngach Roinn eile, bíonn sé i bhfad níos éasca a oibriú amach...
