Last year, PricewaterhouseCoopers flagged issues relating to the accounts of CIE. The response of the Department and CIE was to come together with NewERA to monitor the accounts on a weekly basis. Two major elements of CIE's accounts are the €61 million and €152 paid to the company by the Department of Social Protection and Department of Education and Skills, respectively, for operating two separate schemes. Is it not possible to state whether CIE believes the two schemes are profitable?
