Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

When an Accounting Officer comes here, it is to an extent a one-off and the information the committee is going to get in that situation will be more detailed, but it is perfectly reasonable for the committee to consider as well whether organisations are publishing key performance information or relevant key data on a routine basis that is properly defined and validated and so on. That applies both to performance and the financial information that they provide. It touches on what we will talk about later in respect of fiscal transparency and so on. Having good information in accessible forms that means something to users of the information is probably a legitimate and reasonable concern of the committee.
