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 did a very long report on the matter. I addressed all those issues. As the Accounting Officer I am comfortable because the money was allocated by the Government for a stated purpose. It is not unprecedented, it has happened before. It was done in a more modern way because we are in a more modern era, but I was uncomfortable with the outcome and that is why I recommended that the unit be wound down.
