Public Accounts Committee

Tusla - Financial Statements 2016

Mr. Fred McBride:

We were giving grants to service provider agencies. We already have a more robust grants register that we can interrogate. Where we have done our own auditing and interrogations and raised matters, we have suspended some payments. We are putting in place a commissioning unit to support our commissioners and the people who commission these services are generally our local area managers because they know the local services. We are putting in a national commissioning unit to support that, and much progress has been made there. We are confident during the course of 2018 and certainly into 2019 these processes will be much more robust than they have been hitherto.
