[48074/23]
View answerSince my Department was established in 2017 no cases have been filed by my Department with the Corporate Enforcement Authority (CEA).
An issue with one funded project has been raised with the Gardaí for their attention. Whether or not there has been a misappropriation of public funds is a matter for the investigation. The funding in question has been returned to my Department and the case remains open.
