Public Accounts Committee

National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020

9:30 am

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

Even though the projects are of a smaller scale than some of the larger projects mentioned earlier, they are still subject to the public spending code. Therefore, the same arrangements fall into place. We act as a approving authority for all of the projects. We have processes and procedures in place to give oversight to the projects to try to make sure the design is right, the funding is properly expended and we get the quality of project we need to get at the end of them. They are mini-versions of the larger projects with strong procedures in place to deliver them.
