Mr. Tony Smyth:

We have put in place an auditing system. We focus mainly on large projects, those valued at more than €100,000, but we also include a number of small ones. We will audit at least one project from each local authority area. We aim to audit approximately 5% of all of the works that have been completed. As we only started that process this year, I do not have a report on it yet. To check quality, we hope to have audited previous years by the end of this year. Our audits examine whether the works were in accordance with what was sought at application stage, whether the cost was reasonable, whether the standard of work was okay and whether there were obvious indications of adverse impacts.
