Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The first of the accounts relates to St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra. The college of education has been incorporated into Dublin City University, DCU, but there are some residual assets and liabilities that remain with the entity called St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra. The turnover was very small in the year 2019-2020. It got a clear audit opinion. I understand that the college is moving towards finalisation of the assets and liabilities and the dissolution of the college in due course.

The second set of financial statements is the motor tax account, which is a sizeable departmental fund account. A total of €907 million was collected in 2021. That received a clear audit opinion. For the information of the committee, I will have a chapter in my annual report tomorrow relating to the collection of motor tax.
