Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 22 - Courts Service

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Quigley:

It is Grant Thornton at present. We have published the financial statements. We send copies to the Minister for Justice and Equality, the Minister for Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform and we copy the Comptroller and Auditor General. As things stand legally, the audit is outside of the remit of the Comptroller and Auditor General. It is not a matter for the Courts Service to amend the legislation.
