Ms Niamh Larkin:

I thank the Deputy. The matter to which he has referred was already recorded by the local government auditor in the audit report for 2020. The project was looked at and concerns were noted, as the Deputy said, in the report. Our role is to make sure that proper procurement practices are in place in any area in the local authority at which the local government auditor has looked. That was why this project ended up in the report It is being reported back to the chief executive for a reply. The matter will then be dealt with. It is about constantly improving the governance structure in terms of the procurement processes that are in place.
