- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (4 Apr 2019)
Catherine Connolly: There were conditions and a time limit to the direction. It is serious when somebody has taken the trouble to write to us. I do not wish to give the impression that we do not want to deal with it. That is not correct at all. We have given it a lot of time and we will give it more time. The Comptroller and Auditor General said there were issues arising that gave cause for concern to his...

Catherine Connolly: While I agree that observation rosters are not a matter for the Committee of Public Accounts, I have a question on the procedure in place. I cannot discuss the matter now, however, because I have two letters to examine. I wished only to clarify. I have raised the issue repeatedly but I do not raise it effectively enough.
