Public Accounts Committee
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach
9:00 am
Mr. Martin Fraser:
I think what I said, or what I meant to say, was in respect of three things Deputy Catherine Murphy asked me about. The first was that, clearly, a commission of investigation is quicker and much cheaper. I also said to Deputy Catherine Murphy that I shared her view that we do not have sufficiently robust frameworks for dealing with some of these things. I share her view and she shares mine that I would not like to be spending this amount of money on tribunals, lawyers and consultants. That is where the money goes. I would rather have money spent on preventing these things-----
