asked the Minister for Finance if he can state the cost to public funds of the type rent of the proceedings of the Public Accounts Committee resulting from the delay in completing the report.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Public Accounts Committee Report.
No information as to the type rent, if any, payable in respect of the printing of the proceedings, report, etc., of the Public Accounts Committee, in connection with their examination of the 1946-47 appropriation accounts, will be available until all the relevant material has been printed.
The fact is that there is a type rent payable?
I think so.
I understand that the evidence before the Committee of Public Accounts was completed last November. This is a Committee set up by the House. The next step is the preparation of the chairman's report. I understand the chairman has delayed from November until now to produce his report. It is not fair to the Dáil, and I wish to draw your attention to that.
