Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It is certainly something at which I will look. ETBs are obliged to disclose in their statement of internal financial control, SIFC, the aggregate level of settlements. We would not want to be in a position of going in and second-guessing whether a settlement was appropriate because that is not for us to do. However, if the information is available in the statement of internal control, SIC, it should not be that difficult to at least have a first cut at the information. We could ask the liaison officer to see what information is available across the ETBs and to provide a note to the committee.
