Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:
We have a report. I asked my former head of audit to examine the project and what went wrong. There is a very clear factual report on how that project was managed, with recommendations. What went wrong is explicit. However, there are other issues in relation to the governance and culture that the Minister decided he needed to investigate or have investigated, and he tasked Niamh Brennan, with colleagues, to look at that. She is carrying out that process at the moment. That will be an important report to receive when Niamh Brennan is finished.
