A major issue for this committee is that we have no function in auditing the money spent at local government level. Will Enterprise Ireland be able to verify independently how its money is being spent? The committee will not be able to do so for it through audits of the local authorities or appearances at our meetings by council managers. What function will Enterprise Ireland put in place to have spending independently verified?
