Appointment of Public Accounts Committee.
I move:
That in accordance with Standing Order No. 109 a Select Committee to be designated "The Committee of Public Accounts" be appointed; and that the members of the Committee be nominated by the Committee of Selection;
That the Committee have power to send for persons, papers and records.
Comment on this
Do I understand that it has been decided to discontinue the practice of discussing in the Dáil reports of the Public Accounts Committee? It is now, I think, two or three years since we last discussed a report of the Committee. Am I to assume that this committee which is to be appointed will simply issue its report and that the House will have no opportunity of discussing it?
