Public Accounts Committee

2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

12:00 pm

Ms Geraldine Tallon:

I do find it a bit surprising. I am not entirely clear on what the issue actually is and I will have to look into it on the Deputy's behalf. I would say generally that if this is an issue of environmental enforcement, we would expect the Office of Environmental Enforcement in the EPA to be aware of it because that is where the oversight of enforcement of environmental legislation happens. My understanding is that the Office of Environmental Enforcement is open to looking into issues on behalf of anyone who has a complaint in regard to the implementation of environmental legislation.
