asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht if pursuant to the undertaking he gave in the Dáil on the 10th June, 1960 to have the published accounts of Gaeltarra Éireann for 1958-59 investigated he will state the position regarding the accuracy or otherwise of the said accounts.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Gaeltarra Éireann Accounts.
20.
Níl mé fóil i riocht ráiteas mar sin a thabhairt.
Perhaps the Minister would be able to give it to me if I repeat the question next Tuesday?
I do not think so.
I shall repeat the question.
I wonder if the Minister could reassure us that when investigating these matters relating to the accounts for 1958-59 of Gaeltarra Éireann, he will direct the attention of the officials whom he charges with responsibility for this investigation to the proceedings of the Public Accounts Committee where these matters in so far as they related to the immediate predecessor of Gaeltarra Éireann were under protracted review and examination by the Comptroller and Auditor General?
Gheall mé ar an Meastachán go gcuirfinn na cuntais dá scrúdú. D'ordaíos a leithéid, ach tháining bac ar an gcúrsa nach rabhas ag súil leis. Ar an abhar sin, ní bheidh mé i ndon toradh scrudaithe a thabhairt an tseachtain seo chugainn.
Does that mean that the Minister will not be in a position to clarify this situation before the House goes into recess?
That seems likely.
