Staffing for Comptroller and Auditor General audits
Mac Giolla cited the limited audit of three major Departments due to staff shortages and asked whether the Minister would review staffing; Boland said the issue had been answered the previous day.
Is the Minister aware of the remarks made by the Comptroller and Auditor General recently to the Committee of Public Accounts to the effect that due to shortage of staff as a result of the embargo it was possible only to carry out a limited audit of the expenditure of three major Departments? In view of that statement is it the intention of the Minister to review that area of th Comptroller and Auditor General's staff?
