Written answers

Minister for Finance

I wish to advise the Deputy that the Design Crafts Council of Ireland does not fall under the remit of my Department. However, the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General has advised that it does not audit the annual accounts of this Council. If you have any further queries in relation to the Council you may wish to refer them to my colleague the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation under whose remit the Council falls and who may be in a better position to provide you with a more informed response.
