Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
As the Chairman said, there are seven sets of financial statements. The first is the financial statement of the Ireland-United States Commission for Educational Exchange. People may be aware of it as the Fulbright scholarships body. These are the 2020-2021 financial statements. It is a clear audit opinion. The second is the Citizens Information Board 2020 financial statements. It is a clear audit opinion. The third is from Inland Fisheries Ireland, as well as the 2020 financial statements. It is a clear audit opinion. The fourth is that of Legal Aid Board. It is a clear audit opinion, but I draw attention to disclosures in the statement on internal financial control relating to the level of resourcing of internal audit and to non-compliance with procurement rules. The fifth is the Public Trustee for Ireland, which is a function established under the Land Act of 1903.
It concerns the 2021 financial statements, and there is a clear audit opinion. The sixth concerns the Kilkenny and Carlow Education and Training Board financial statements for 2020. There is a clear audit opinion. The final set concerns the Housing Agency. There is a clear audit opinion for 2020.
