Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Seán Fleming: What I want next week is for the Department to verify that all the agencies under its remit have submitted their accounts within three months. If the accounts are for the end of year in December, which they probably all are, the Office of the Auditor and Comptroller General should have all their accounts. The Committee of Public Accounts has written directly to each of the agencies audited...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Seán Fleming: -----just about the submission for audit. We know the audit process will take months, but in our job as the Committee of Public Accounts, the first task is for people to submit accounts. If they do not submit accounts, we have nothing to talk to them about. The first step of that is them meeting their statutory requirement. I, as Chairman, wrote before Christmas to every body and...

Vote 24: Justice and Equality (26 Apr 2018) Seán Fleming: The note reads, "The saving arose mainly due to a lower number of awards than expected partly due to vacancies in the membership of the Tribunal for a period during 2016." It is outrageous that people cannot get compensation just because a position has not been filled on the tribunal. I have had parliamentary questions on this. The witnesses have probably seen that over a period. There...
