Financial Statements 2023: Inland Fisheries Ireland
Special Report No. 118 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Governance, internal control and value for money issues in Inland Fisheries Ireland
2:00 am
James Geoghegan (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael)
To echo what the Cathaoirleach said, I really feel that the witnesses’ testimony today and how they interacted with some of our lines of questioning brings into question the credibility of a lot of what we have heard here today. I do not think it has done anything to restore confidence in the organisation. I find it really troubling to be honest how the witnesses have responded to some questions here. I am new as a TD but I have not seen it before.
On the documents, can we get a copy of the Department's external investigation that was provided to Ms Campion and then to the board and the ARC? I am referring to the external investigation into the protected disclosure of the driver of the uninsured vehicle. Can we get a copy of that document?
Can we also get a copy of all minutes at a board or a sub-committee board level that dealt with or addressed this issue, along with any documents that were compiled in respect of this, either by the witnesses or whoever, in respect of the report that was made that refutes the clear findings in the external report? Can they furnish those documents to this committee?
