Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
The Vote for the President's Establishment is audited in the same way as all other Votes. There is no difference. There is a difference in that the Accounting Officer for the Vote - and any Vote holder is an Accounting Officer - does not have executive responsibility for the decisions on how spending is done.
