2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 15 - Staff Appointments in the National Gallery of Ireland
Vote 34 - National Gallery of Ireland

12:15 pm

Mr. Niall Ó Donnchú:

The expenditure of that €6 million by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht will be subject to full review and oversight by the Comptroller and Auditor General, by our internal audit systems, our financial management systems and so on. Consequently, there will be a cascade of oversight beginning with our Department, our management systems, our internal audit systems, the Comptroller and Auditor General and moving down through the system to the point where it exits out into activities in Limerick in 2014.
