Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government

9:00 am

Dr. Donal McManus:

We are not quite sure where it sits at present. I believe there is a working group to be set up in the Government to progress it. We have made submissions both to the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and a working group set up under the Department of Finance on this. I am not quite sure of the position with that. In terms of the process, we looked in detail through the reasons for the classification. In some of them the issues can be addressed fairly easily. We thought some were probably more spurious issues. Some are quite challenging issues in terms of the level of finance. Mr. Hannigan mentioned the need to spread the level of finance to other financial options. There are also controls around lettings and allocations.
