Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
European Court of Auditors: Discussion
Mr. Tony Murphy:
Absolutely. We attend as well, together with the Commission. We make our presentation and then the parliamentarians can ask questions of the Commission based on that. There is then a discharge resolution, which could recommend the Commission does certain things. Moreover, through the Council procedure there is also resolution there as well. Sometimes, they are even more demanding. If the Commission is not happy with something we say, they will say they agree with the court and want the Commission to try to follow that. There is some pressure and outcome from it.
