Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 76:

In page 23, line 38, after "and" to insert "the Public Accounts Committee".

This amends the Schedules of the 1999 Act. This relates to the accounts and the submission to the Comptroller and Auditor General. We had an esoteric discussion on it and the Minister contended he has covered my point. The Minister, the Fine Gael spokesperson and I were all members of the Committee of Public Accounts. The Ceann Comhairle probably was too. Although I wanted to specify it because it is of constitutional importance, I accept what the Minister has said and I withdraw the amendment.
