Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
The Department's payments are facilitated by the Office of the Paymaster General, which provides services to Government Departments. We do not routinely hold cash sums in commercial bank accounts. We typically use commercial bank accounts to collect receipts and facilitate the payment of staff. We arrange for these commercial bank accounts to be put in fund as required.
