It was probably the way I read it. For the sake of clarity, under the accounting officer functions, Government amendments Nos. 97, 102, 108, 122, 126 and 136 deal with local authority functions in relation to finance. These functions include actions connected with rates, waiving all or a portion of charges, the collection of moneys and requirements for prompt payment of account. These amendments ensure that these remain with the director general as part of the accounting officer role.

I apologise.
