The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee today published a report on Northern Ireland Departments 2002-03 resource accounts.  The Sub committee took evidence from the Department of Finance and Personnel and the Department for Social Development in September 2004.
In addition, the Committee found that the Department of Finance and Personnel had not demonstrated the rigour and foresight which might have been expected in assisting departments to prepare for resource accounting, and also that it was unlikely to meet the deadlines for introducing key accounting programmes to increase the usefulness of accounts.
The Department’s accounts were severely qualified by the Comptroller and Auditor General for Northern Ireland in 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04, and effective action has not been taken by the Department to correct this most unsatisfactory state of affairs.

 Delayed Transmission
O'Brion was opposed by the Department of Finance, which was dealing with Ireland's severe economic problems and viewed television as a "luxury service that would be available only to the wealthy," Savage said.
He proposed a state-run service modeled after the BBC, which, at the time, was the only television available in Ireland and its reception was limited to the northern border counties and the east coast.
The introduction of television, Savage said, was a critical moment in Ireland's transformation of the late '50s and early '60s.
