Question:104 Mr. McGuinness asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 120 of 3 November 1998, her Department will consider allowing each county enterprise board to appoint its own local auditor to create greater efficiency in the system and to avoid penalty charges for late returns; and if her Department will allow enterprise boards to deduct these penalties from departmental fees where a penalty has been applied for late returns and where the fault lies with her Department.
