Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Appropriation Account 2018

Mr. Peter Finnegan:

I can address our response in terms of controls. Following the emergence of that issue, we carried out a detailed examination and now have six or seven additional controls in place which apply to that system of incremental credit. They were agreed with the relevant associations and I am satisfied that we have the appropriate controls in place to avoid a reoccurrence of that issue.
