Written answers

Minister for Finance

I propose to take Questions Nos. 252 and 253 together.

The Comptroller and Auditor General is independent in the exercise of his functions and therefore my Department does not have the details requested.

The Deputy may wish to raise the matters directly with the Comptroller and Auditor General.
