Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The first set of financial statements concerns the Ombudsman for Children for the accounting period 2023. It received a clear audit opinion. No. 2 relates to Uisce Éireann for 2023, which received a clear audit opinion. These are the first accounts of Uisce Éireann formally before the committee. No. 3 is the Marine Casualty Investigation Board for 2023. It received a clear audit opinion. Finally, the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission appropriation account for 2023 received a clear audit opinion. However, I drew attention to significant non-compliant procurement by the commission.
