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:

There are a number of questions there, so I will try to take them in turn. Regarding the Ryevale House inspection, I make the point that we shared those inspection reports with the committee. Without getting into the details of a particular case, the inspection report identified some quite significant issues. In a case like that, IPAS management and the residential welfare team I referred to earlier engage with centre management and residents to ensure that any of the issues identified in an inspection report like that are addressed.
