I ask Ms McGrath to send us a note on 2014 if it is available, outlining the numbers of people who received over €10,000 and also the maximum number.

I have a question on the agency issue for both Ms McGrath and the Comptroller and Auditor General. While I might be reading between the lines, is there a suggestion that some of the accounting procedures were done so that Departments would not have to surrender money at the end of the year? We have come across other Departments where money was transferred to a different organisation, spent quickly or accounted for differently so that the Vote surrender would not happen at the end of the year. Is there any suggestion that was going on with some of the discrepancies between the two accounts?
