If anybody wants to skip the vote then the committee is welcome to carry on here for a while longer but I, however, am making a...

What I am saying as Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts is that I am going to continue with my line of questioning during the first vote, even if I then end up skipping it, in an effort to avoid wasting time in the afternoon when the other members and witnesses will be here.

That is my sole purpose here. When we come back, then, Deputy Kelly will finish up.

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Seán Fleming: Okay, but very quickly. I have a few quick questions to put to Mr. Ó Foghlú and Mr. O'Toole. I believe that Mr. O'Toole has to leave but that his team will stay with us for the afternoon. Mr. Ó Foghlú said in his opening statement that two of the 16 ETBs submitted their accounts within the statutory period of three months while the remaining 14 did not. Quite a few of...

I have three or four more points to make before I let Deputy Kelly in with his question for Mr. O'Toole. Mr. Loftus has given an answer that is not acceptable to the Committee of Public Accounts.

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Seán Fleming: I will just make a broad comment. The Committee of Public Accounts, along with the entire public of the Republic of Ireland, are sick and tired of the lack of accountability in the public service. We see it in finance; banks; the HSE; the ETBs; and in education. The Committee of Public Accounts no longer has any latitude in these matters. If a body is obliged to meet a statutory...
