C&AG to examine development of postcode project

The Comptroller and Auditor General has confirmed his office is examining aspects of the development of the State’s postcode project.

Seamus McCarthy appeared at a meeting of the Public Accounts Committee last week, during which he said he expects a report on his office’s findings on Eircode in September.

A spokesman for the Comptroller and Auditor General said the examination will focus on the business case for the project; the outturn against budget to date; the performance against planned milestones to date; and procurement and contracting issues.
