"The candidate can be described as having decades of experience in the field of financial auditing. He has worked as a civil servant for 27 years, including as Assistant Secretary and later as Secretary General of the Irish Department of Finance. His work at the Department of Finance afforded him an overview of budgetary planning and implementation, and also involved his participation in the management of budgetary control. Apart from his career in Ireland, his positions as Alternate Director and Director of the European Investment Bank have provided him with the experience necessary to fill the position of auditor. He has also gained extensive knowledge in the fields of tax and pensions policy, having participated in the consolidation process following the Irish banking crisis. Additionally, he was involved in the establishment and implementation of the EU/IMF programme of support for Ireland. He considers guaranteeing the independence of the Court of Auditors and its staff to be one of his most important goals, and in his statement he asserts that in the course of his work, he will be able to ensure complete independence. In his answers, he assured the Committee that there could be no conflict of interest in relation to his person. His further goals include the incorporation of risk management and risk mitigation strategies into EU financial management practices. During his work, he intends to place stronger emphasis on close cooperation with the European Parliament and the Committee on Budgetary Control. His professional background and attitude make him a suitable candidate for the position."@en1
