Reputational risk has been the biggest risk to the ETB. I would have thought that was almost top of the agenda. In 2010, the accounts led to a special report on what I accept is a different organisation, but a constituent part of this. There is now a special report on the 2015 accounts. We are talking about 2015 accounts in 2019 and we do not know what has happened and how the organisation has functioned in the interim. The last thing this ETB can sustain is yet another shortcoming in the accounts and the running of the board. In terms of risk, I would have thought that would be something both the Department and the ETB would have as top of the agenda. Is it something that appears on the agenda every month? Is it something for a special meeting? How is it handled?
