In the first instance, and we will get some details, I propose that this committee, today, write to the chairman of each of those ETBs, in respect of the 2015 audit, stating that we will not accept any excuse. I will allow people to comment but I think we need to write to the chairmen. We are asking that the chairmen formally put our letter on the agenda of their next meetings, not just dealt with inhouse but at their ETB meeting, publicly, and at local level. I propose that our letter expresses our displeasure, or whatever the appropriate word is, that these matters have not been resolved, and asking that they take every action to ensure that their 2015 and 2016 financial statements are signed off, completed and audited as soon as possible. I call Deputy Kelly and then I will come back to other Deputy Murphy.
