Public Accounts Committee

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

We would have had a standard pricing range in respect of serviced or self-catering accommodation that would have informed our negotiations with individual providers or our agreements around contracts with individual providers. I know it is not what the Deputy is implying but we did not purchase hotels in 2022. However, we obviously purchased services from providers over the course of 2022.
