Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report and Appropriation Accounts of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Cost of Bank Stabilisation Measures as at the end of 2016
Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Liquidation

9:00 am

Mr. Des Carville:

We can do more than that. We can issue directions to the special liquidators. My understanding from memory is if we have a problem with a fee we can issue a direction. We are effectively like the High Court or the Taxing Master. That is my understanding. The reason I am slightly hesitant, and perhaps a little too vague for the Deputy's liking on this, is that such a situation has not arisen. If a situation like that had arisen I would be able to articulate it more definitively.
