Public Accounts Committee

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Dr. Deirdre Keyes:

No, I think the appointment of the contractor is an issue but in our response to the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General we gave an explanation of how that happened in the context of the information available to us. Obviously, we have accepted the findings. Obviously, the committee will note from my statement that they are of regret. Deputy Aylward is correct about some of the expenditures incurred.
