Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

My Department has a broad remit of responsibilities across the justice, equality, disability and other sectors and, in this regard deals with many issues on a daily basis some of which would be governed by public financial procedures. I am not aware of any case where public financial procedures were not complied with but if the Deputy could supply further details of the matter he is referring to I will have it examined immediately.
