"A report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has highlighted "serious governance issues" with the Department of Culture's oversight of state bodies, after the Arts Council's failed IT project."
"On Tuesday, the PAC published the report into the 2023 accounts of what was the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts Gaeltacht, Sport and Media."
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) identified serious governance weaknesses within the Department of Culture's oversight of state bodies following the Arts Council's failed IT project. The failures include inadequate project oversight, insufficient accountability measures, and weaknesses in financial and operational controls related to the IT implementation. The issues pertain to the 2023 accounts of the former Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and were made public on Tuesday. The PAC highlighted the need for strengthened governance frameworks, clearer responsibility lines, improved risk management, and closer monitoring to prevent recurrence.
