Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 July 2008
161 Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Finance if he has any draft reports from the Comptroller and Auditor General; if so, when he expects to publish these reports; if any of these reports refer to public sector pension schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25255/08]
View answerThe Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) is an independent Constitutional Officer, appointed by the President on the nomination of the Dáil. I am aware that, under its own authority, the office of the C&AG is planning to carry out a Value for Money examination on the management and administration of public service pension schemes and has recently issued a Request for Proposals in that regard. As Minister for Finance, I have no responsibility for reports undertaken by the C&AG, which are commissioned and conducted independently and therefore I am not in a position to comment on when the report may be published.
