On the point made by the Deputy, this Committee of Public Accounts should ask every Secretary General who comes before the committee to provide a note in advance with regard to the agencies under the auspices of their Departments, to list each of the agencies or State boards funded by them and include their financial accounts. Maybe this committee should insist on that as a matter of form and it would probably be good practice for us, and for the Accounting Officers, across the board - not just in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It is a good point.
