Mr. Robert Watt:
In the first instance, it is the responsibility of the Accounting Officer for the relevant Department. School transport comes under the Department of Education and Skills, while the subvention to CIE is within the remit of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. The Vote officer who attend the committee takes account of the discussions and the conclusions of the report and feeds the information into discussions with the Department on expenditure and the formulation of the Estimates. That is reflected in the discussions.
