Mr. Ó Foghlú referred to the National Council for Special Education. The explanation for its savings was that it was due to a reduction in grant funding made available due to an operating surplus in its accounts. Can the secretary general explain how the operation surplus arose? How does the Department monitor surpluses and bank balances belonging to bodies within its remit?
