Public Accounts Committee
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach
9:00 am
Mr. Martin Fraser:
I think that is not far off, if one adds them all up over the years. I do think the Deputy has a point in that we should have more robust processes in the State -it is not really the Taoiseach's Department but in the State - for stopping these things in advance. Some of these things are just illegal, underhand activity that is being investigated, and there is not much one can do about that. I agree with the principle of what Deputy Murphy said.
