Tánaiste Simon Harris has said the discovery that a scanner bought for over €120,000 for the National Gallery has never been used raises "serious control issues".
The scanner, which has been lying idle since it was purchased, is the latest spending controversy to arise within state-funded organisations.
There still has not been a suitable lead-lined room found for the special X-ray machine eight years on.
