- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: I presume the Comptroller and Auditor General will do his job, as he always does. If information on the matter being raised here is made available in response to a parliamentary question or in a report, it would be incumbent on the Comptroller and Auditor General to have sight of it as part of his audit work for 2018. Then he will report to the Committee of Public Accounts.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: If the Deputy has a question that is specific to Bord na gCon, it is within the remit of this committee to bring in Bord na gCon so that such questions can be asked directly. I would say it would be far more useful to do that when we have the 2018 audited accounts from the Comptroller and Auditor General. That is merely a suggestion.

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (20 Jun 2019) Seán Fleming: It is clear that there is information in there.

We have to leave the Comptroller and Auditor General do his job now.
