APPENDIX IX.SUSPENSE ACCOUNTS OPENED IN CONNECTION WITH GARDA SÍOCHÁNA REWARD FUND.Rúnaí, Coiste um Chuntais Phoiblí. At the proceedings of the Public Accounts Committee on the 22nd July, during my examination in connection with the appropriation account for the Vote for the Gárda Síochána, I undertook to supply information regarding the balance of £4,382 5s. 10d. remaining in suspense on the 31st March, 1953, in connection with the Gárda Síochána Reward Fund. Moneys payable into the Fund are collected in “feeder” accounts before being transferred to the Fund. This enables payment to be made from these accounts of expenses such as subsistence and travelling expenses of Weights and Measures Inspectors, administrative expenses incurred by Department of Industry and Commerce, occasional remission of fines, etc. The “feeder” accounts are:— Verification Fees Suspense Account. Reward Fund Suspense Account. Taximeter Fees Suspense Account. This arrangement is a matter of accountancy and is necessitated by the fact that, under the Reward Fund regulations payments, other than rewards granted by the Commissioner, Gárda Síochána, cannot ordinarily be made from the Fund. There are receipt and payment transactions in the Suspense Accounts up to the last day of each quarter consequently some time must elapse, after the end of a quarter, before the correct, i.e., the net amounts for transfer to the Reward Fund can be ascertained. (Signed) THOMAS J. COYNE, Secretary, Department of Justice. 8 Samhain, 1954. |
