Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924: Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
Mr. David Moloney:
Yes. Implementing the policies of the Minister in the Department is a Secretary General role. I report to the Minister, and the appropriate authority is the Government. With regard to the Accounting Officer function, which entails a separate body of legislation, I report in a personal capacity. I cannot delegate that function. It is separate from my duty in respect of the Minister. I report to the Committee of Public Accounts, and the Comptroller and Auditor General audits.
