Public Accounts Committee

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

Mr. Barry Fox:

Yes. At the time, you had to put forward a business case to make a case for the training. I can advise the committee that the training was reviewed by the head of HR and the learning and development manager at the time. I am advised that a verbal commitment was given. There is email evidence to say that the approval to pay a deposit happened in July but due to issues with authorisations on online payments between the app and the credit card of the particular person who was approving it, that did not happen until September. That is my information on the issue.
