I will deal with the examples in front of me, namely, those included in the opening statement. Mr. McCarthy has categorised them into three areas. He states, "evidence was not available in respect of 56% of the sample cases examined that required pricing quotations were received by the Board in advance of grant payment", "evidence was not available in respect of around 50% of the sample grants examined that required invoices and receipts" were received, and evidence of the required proof of property tenancy or ownership was not available in respect of 55% of housing support grants examined. Were the weaknesses in those three areas the same weaknesses that were flagged up in 2014, 2015 and 2016?
