Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The funding is made available in the Vote for the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. It is probably different to a grant situation where there is no ongoing oversight. There is no necessity that funding be stopped to generate the financial statements or the submission of the financial statements. The difficulty now that there is not an effective board that can sign off on the financial statements. If we had an automatic trigger whereby funding stopped because the financial statements did not arise, there would be a lot of people who would not get paid. That is the difficulty.
