Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
No. 41 is Teagasc financial statements for 2024. Those received a clear audit opinion.
No. 42 relates to a subsidiary of Teagasc called Moorepark Technology Limited financial statements for 2024. They also received a clear audit opinion.
No. 43 is the Defence Forces canteen board for 2024, which received a clear audit opinion.
No. 44 is the Ombudsman for Children financial statements for 2024, which received a clear audit opinion.
No. 45 is the accounts of the external oversight body of the Defence Forces for 2024. They received a clear audit opinion.
No. 46 relates to Science Foundation Ireland. These are the final accounts for Science Foundation Ireland. It was amalgamated into Taighde Éireann or Research Ireland on 1 August. These financial statements cover the period 1 January to 31 July 2024. They received a clear audit opinion. The accounts were actually signed off by me in February, but they were only presented on 5 September, so they were late in being presented. I did give a clear audit opinion, but I drew attention to a settlement at a net cost of €409,000 with the former director general following the termination of his secondment.
