2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 1 - President's Establishment
Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach
9:00 am
Mr. Martin Fraser:
The Comptroller and Auditor General might know. I write to the heads of these tribunals annually and ask them if they are nearly finished. They write back to me dutifully stating that they are not yet finished. The tribunal decides what the fees are and it goes to the Taxing Master; they sort it all out and we just get a letter saying what the amount is, and that is our only involvement. To say that I am unhappy to have this stuff on our Vote all these years-----
