It was extra cash in lieu of property but was not part of Caranua's funding. I ask the Department in its next report to include a note on the cash taken in lieu of property just to complete the circle. They probably dropped off the list because they went for cash but we would like to complete the picture. I wish the Department the very best in completing that work. It will be good to get to the end of that particular road as soon as possible. These matters often take longer than they should but that is life.

I thank the witnesses from Caranua and the Department of Education and Skills for their attendance. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for being here today. The clerk to the committee will follow up on any information requested and carry out any agreed actions arising from today's meeting.

At our next meeting we will discuss the 2018 appropriation accounts with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Chapter 10 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's 2018 report on forestry grants.
