Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) David Cullinane: That is what I want to get to because Mr. Waters told me a second ago that the first time the Department was made aware of the alleged irregularities which are in the internal audit was when he was presented with a copy in 2016. Obviously these alleged irregularities centre around a number of bank accounts. Mr. O'Callaghan, when was the Department made aware of the 40 plus bank accounts...

Does Mr. O'Callaghan understand that when I ask a question, I expect the question to be answered. I do not want a history lesson. I want a straight answer to a question that was asked. The question Mr. O'Callaghan was asked was when was the Department made aware of at least 40 bank accounts operating. What day, what month and what year was the Department made...

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) David Cullinane: To clarify, it was in September 2015 that the Department was first made aware of the existence of the laundry account and, we will say, almost all the issues that were cited in the interim audit report. Would that be fair?

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) David Cullinane: The witnesses would have been made aware there was essentially double charging of laundry and 38% of the money in the laundry account was used for purposes other than laundry. That is what is in the internal audit report. Was it in September 2015 that they were made aware of that as well?

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) David Cullinane: Something has occurred. The witness says he read the interim audit report. He will be aware a reference was made to the transfer of this €100,000 to the boat club. We have not established exactly where that money came from and it is possible it could have come from voted expenditure. It was in an account with a mix of different revenue streams so this happened on the watch of the...

Chapter 6 - Procurement and Management of Contracts for Direct Provision (Resumed) (11 May 2017) David Cullinane: No. The Secretary General would have been the Accounting Officer in that period. We know the payments were made, as the Comptroller and Auditor General has said, between 2000 and 2003. It may have been inappropriate and it is alleged it was inappropriate. The witness was made aware of this in 2015. Is that correct?
