Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. The first set of financial statements relate to the Health Insurance Authority for 2022. That received a qualified audit opinion on the basis the accounts give a true and fair view except that they account for the costs of retirements benefit entitlements of staff only as they become payable. However, as I have pointed out before, that is standard for many of the health bodies. No. 2 is the risk equalisation fund, which is managed by the Health Insurance Authority. It is quite a sizable account with €812 million going through it. Again, for 2022 that received a clear audit opinion.
No. 3 is the Medical Bureau of Road Safety for 2022. It received a clear audit opinion.
Finally, the National Oil Reserves Agency designated activity company received a clear audit opinion for 2022.
