That is my question.
I ask for a detailed note in respect of the State balance sheet, which is often referred to here. I want to know where the universities and institutes of technologies are on the State balance sheet. Time is tight now. We would prefer a proper note on that.
The issue of the housing agencies came up here recently. We got some reports, some of the big ones, around the State balance sheet. I ask for a detailed note on that.
The CSO was involved in the application to have Irish Water put on the State balance sheet, which failed abysmally at EUROSTAT level. How did all the brains in the CSO get that so obviously wrong? EUROSTAT rejected it; how did the CSO get it so wrong? It should not have. We have had this before. The CSO should know the rules of what is on and off the balance sheet.
