Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Local Government Audit Service Report: Discussion
Ms Niamh Larkin:
Local authorities have different processes in place because there is no definitive timeline set out in the legislation. Some local authorities publish the report immediately on their own website and issue them to all councillors as soon as we issue them and then we publish them. Others wait for the report to go to the audit committee, which could involve a time delay depending on when the audit committee meets and then wait for the report to be prepared.
