Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The detail is on pages 3 and 4 of the statement on internal control. The property is in the Meath Gaeltacht, in Ráth Chairn. The original budget for the project was €1.2 million but it ended up costing €3.5 million. The difficulty was that the board of Údarás na Gaeltachta was not aware of the escalation of costs so there were obvious control failures there. The project increased in scope and the board was not aware of it until quite late in the process.
