Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Inland Fisheries Ireland was established in 2010. That was its first year of operation, amalgamating the regional fisheries boards. The first year's financial statements using the old accounting system were certified in December 2011 but for some reason they were not presented to the Oireachtas. In 2011, there was considerable difficulty in Inland Fisheries Ireland presenting a set of financial statements for audit. When the difficulties were eventually resolved, we were then able to proceed with the accounts for 2012 and 2013. The 2014 audit is ongoing.
