On the amendment, on 14 October last, the Comptroller and Auditor General issued a review of audited semi-State and State bodies. The establishment of Irish Water will not stop the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General from performing its role in auditing compliance with the guidelines issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
