Does Mr. Watt have concerns about the amount of money going into such a company? Are we getting value for money? Is the money being spent correctly? I would ask the same questions about the school transport system. Is it profitable? For what are we paying them? How does the Department gauge if it is profitable to do this? The Committee of Public Accounts could not get all of the answers to these two major issues. I do not want to be hard, but the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform oversees all expenditure. Department of Finance officials attend the committee every week and when they return to the Department, to whom do they report?
