Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme

9:00 am

Mr. John O'Sullivan:

That return of funds related to a time when we experienced difficulties. We were putting a new structure in place and there were delays in negotiating it with the staff associations. That was immediately corrected in 2017. We secured an additional €750,000 from the Minister in the 2017 Estimates to increase our staffing level in order to deal with the urgency of the matters outlined by Deputy Burke.
