The Committee of Public Accounts may have a different position to take on those. What the Deputy has said applies across the board to lots of organisations.

At this stage we shall conclude the discussion. On behalf of the Committee of Public Accounts I thank the witnesses from the Departments of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and Public Expenditure and Reform, and the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General for the materials supplied to the committee and for participating today. Please note that we will not sign off on the accounts, it is not an issue and it is just a formality, until we receive those fuller accounts of the €1.2 billion that is paid through the EU. We do not have a full picture of the payments.
