Public Accounts Committee

2018 Annual Report of the Accounts of the Public Services
Chapter 9 - Greenhouse Gas-Related Financial Transactions: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

We have got to start now to deal with all this. For example, take the appropriation accounts for the Department of Communication, Climate Action and Environment. It has two programmes - one is an energy programme and the other is environment and waste management. There needs to be consideration as to whether that is the correct grouping or if it is the correct programme structure. That is something that individual Departments will discuss with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The sooner we start on that work, the sooner we can start taking action and provide better information for a debate that will not go away.
