Following the appearance of representatives of the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government at which a number of members raised issues connected with a particular transaction as a case in point, I requested of the Secretary General that the local authority audit committee carry out an audit of the transaction in question. When I asked him if he could instruct the head of the audit committee, whose name I cannot remember off-hand, to do this he stated he could not issue an instruction but could request that the committee audit this particular transaction. I ask that we check whether the Secretary General has made this request and, if so, what response he has received and whether the transaction will be audited.
