The internal audit of any Department or organisation is important for the Committee of Public Accounts because internal audit can examine issues where there might be wrongdoing or a lapse in procedures, governance and so on. I am aware that the Department carried out an investigation into claims that almost €90,000 in funding was misused by a non-government body working in the sexual assault support sector. I know this was covered by RTÉ's "This Week", programme. The Department is aware, I would imagine, of the audit findings. What did the audit unit of the Department do in that case and can Mr. O'Driscoll report to us the findings of the audit review?
