Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

European Court of Auditors Annual Report 2022: Discussion

Mr. Tony Murphy:

Some of the cases that were finalised during my time would have been sent a couple of years ago. They give us a running total. They will tell us that three of our cases have been closed, for example. Let us say, for instance, we send them 15 cases. They will tell us that they have decided, on the basis of a preliminary assessment, to drop them because obviously they have limited resources and have to prioritise. Based on the closed investigations from 2011 to 2022, they have recommended the recovery of €542 million. That is based on cases we have sent to them.
