Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 26 - Education and Skills

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

It has been in place for three or four years. The issue about payments also has to do with the flow of information about people being on sick leave, taking career breaks or incremental days. Those are the sorts of issues that can arise between the PeoplePoint system and the payroll-shared services system. We have to get the flow of information as accurate as possible. I am not seeking to find fault with the shared services; it is a shared issue between ourselves and them.
