Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities

9:30 am

Mr. Graham Doyle:

The hard powers are very clear. They are set out in legislation and in the constitutional arrangements. The Chairman's point on the softer elements, in terms of how a councillor feels or engages with those, is where that training becomes tremendously important. I know the AILG does strong work on that. My colleague, Ms Fiona Quinn, has considerable interest in training, if the Chairman would like to bring her in.
