Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
The Constitution requires me, as Comptroller and Auditor General, to control all issues of funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer. If there is not a mechanism in place that works, then I cannot do that. That is why the 1993 Act requires me to report to the Oireachtas when the system does not work as the Oireachtas has designed it.
