Deputy Mary Harney Deputy Mary Harney

303

  Deputy Mary Harney:The agency referred to by the Deputy is a voluntary body, therefore, it is a matter in the first instance for the Board of the agency to ensure that it complies with proper standards of governance, including any matters relating to its financial management. The agency concerned is funded by the Health Service [303] Executive and as such is obliged to comply with terms and conditions set out by the Executive in respect of a range of issues including the management of its finances. I have therefore requested the Executive to investigate the issues raised by the Deputy with a view to ensuring that the agency complies with its financial obligations.
