Public Accounts Committee

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

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

To pick up on public representatives being misled or whatever form of language the Deputy chooses to use around that, we appreciate the support of local public representatives on the ground when it comes to challenging openings of this nature. We are keen that public representatives are told the same information at the same time. That is the approach the community engagement team seeks to take. We can always build on experiences of openings that went well or did not go well and modify and evolve the protocol around that. We are open to that.
