Public Accounts Committee

Oversight and Implementation of Capital Projects and the Role of Public Officials on State Boards: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of Government Procurement

9:00 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

They have many meetings about many matters. During the budget process, there could be 30 plus meetings between officials in our Department and the Department of Health about matters relating to the budget. Mr. Moloney and his team asked for a detailed note on what the position was and it was stated that we would engage with them when we had the facts, but the facts were not established at the time. It is very reasonable to ask, on any issue, that the facts be set out and that a meeting take place when the facts are received.
