The next item of correspondence is No. 720B, from Dr. Deirdre Keyes, chief executive officer of Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board, dated 30 June 2021 and providing information requested by the committee on non-compliant procurement of over €1.4 million. In its 2019 financial statement, the committee requested explanations from all bodies audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General with non-compliant procurement in excess of €500,000, as we mentioned earlier. It is proposed that we note and publish this item, if that is agreed. Deputy Catherine Murphy has flagged this matter. This body has come up a number of times at meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts but the Deputy wants to make a contribution.
