Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

9:30 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

As it happens I have a chapter, to be published on Thursday, which is looking at the oversight arrangements for the funding for Galway 2020. Obviously, I am not getting into individual events. The Secretary General's letter does describe many of the events. I do not have a view on the quality of what was done or the impact of it but I do welcome the fact that the Department is undertaking an exercise to try to establish what the impact has been and whether it has been a success from that point of view. Again, there will be further information in relation to Galway 2020 in the report on Thursday and it may be something the committee would wish to examine further.
