Public Accounts Committee
Business of Committee
10:00 am
Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
My predecessor produced a report on the initial acquisition of the land. This is probably the most complete description of the expenses incurred since the purchase, including purchases of additional land to provide a dedicated access road from the main road, as I understand it, and expenditure on development of the site. It is something I intend to come back to at some point but I have no plan immediately to report on it. It strikes me that if the Accounting Officer were before the committee, the matter could be probed by the committee. That would be the standard operational procedure in relation to an expenditure line the committee is concerned about.
