Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

A significant purchase like this would be typically examined as part of the audit. It was a 2018 purchase. I plan to look at this in the context of the audit.

Deputy Cullinane's points are well made and there is a question of how we take it forward from here, seeing as professional opinions have been presented. If we were to try to look into it, we would have to hire professionals to look at it. I do not want to pre-judge it. I want to look at it and then determine whether something further will be required.
