The Comptroller and Auditor General mentioned No. 4.5, which is Horse Racing Ireland. The annual report and accounts have been submitted. We said when we had the 2012 annual accounts we would see about setting a date for Horse Racing Ireland to come in. I am surprised there is a note on the audit outcome in the summary sheet we got today that attention is drawn to a number of instances of non-compliance with public procurement rules. It is not a major issue. That is signed off by the chairman in the statement of internal financial control for Horse Racing Ireland in his report saying there are a limited number of circumstances where that arose. There are issues we could usefully discuss with Horse Racing Ireland in addition to the specific correspondence item we have. Can we try to set a date now that the accounts are in?
