Having taken all relevant factors into account, the Government has nominated Mr. Kevin Cardiff, Secretary General at the Department of Finance, for appointment to the European Court of Auditors. Mr. Cardiff will attend a hearing of the European Parliament's Budgetary Control Committee before his nomination goes to the Council for approval. As the Taoiseach said in the Dáil last week, "Mr. Cardiff carries with him a long career of distinguished public service here and the credentials to do a first class job in respect of the European Court of Auditors."
