Report into Ticketing at Rio Olympic Games: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. John Treacy:
To get back to the Deputy O'Keeffe's specific question, we ask every funded body to recognise in its annual statements the funding that Sport Ireland gives it. What we get as well are audit statements from those bodies to state that the money was expended for the purpose it was given. With the OCI, we get both of those as well. However, in the context of its expenditure, we looked for the vouched receipts for that expenditure and only paid the money out on vouched expenditure. It is another step in terms of ensuring that we are only paying out for what is expended.
