Question:662. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the way in which the investigation by the local government auditor into payments made by Meath County Council to a company (details supplied) in 2008 and 2009 is progressing; if the investigation has established that payments made to this company should have been paid to another company for work it carried out for the council during the period in question; if it has established if Meath County Council continues to make payments to the company despite the fact that the issue of the previous incorrect payments to the company has not been addressed and may be the subject of a fresh Garda investigation; if Meath County Council was in breach of its legal and statutory obligations to inform the local government auditor when these payment discrepancies were uncovered further to complaints by a person several years ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
