Public Accounts Committee
2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
1:00 pm
Mr. Mark Griffin:
Without wanting to sound smart, I am afraid that I cannot because those functions have transferred into the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media since September of last year, so the timing of the publication of those reports is not within my control. I do not know the reason the report was only published in the past few weeks. I know there can be delays in the submission of reports to Departments. There can be delays in the analysis and assessment of such reports within the Departments themselves before they are brought to the Government and before the Government approves them for publication, submission to and laying before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
