But in the background, there have been tensions with Martin’s department over interpretations of the regulator’s independence and about financial and governance issues. The department said this week “the code of practice for the governance of State bodies and the public spending code are unambiguous in setting out that any State body must be subject to sufficient oversight and accountability to ensure that it is performing effectively and using public resources efficiently in the delivery of its objectives”.
However, he maintained that “the accuracy of these have now come into question” in a report carried out for Coimisiún na Meán by consultants Deloitte. Deloitte had looked at its finance function, it added, and it was “implementing improvements to our finance and governance procedures on the back of this report”. It was committed to complying with all rules governing State bodies.
