2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
Perhaps I did not explain it adequately. We have oversight arrangements and an oversight agreement with all our State agencies. We meet them several times per year to ensure they are discharging their expenditure responsibilities correctly. It is not true to say that we determine on what they spend money. We try to ensure they have the necessary governance arrangements in place and they spend the funding correctly.
