A dual audit of certain parts rather than the whole lot, which seems to suggest RTÉ will have a private audit of itself, followed by the Comptroller and Auditor General doing the exact same thing, meaning a delay in the provision of accounts for scrutiny. It seems very odd although I understand the point Mr. Larragy made on Uisce Éireann. There are other semi-State companies in this category but it has not caused a difficulty. If there is a full audit and then a full audit again every single year, it seems odd, with the exception of where an issue has arisen.
