Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The Deputy might recall our previous discussion on county enterprise boards. The issue is that they basically do not have the resources to produce annual reports. They generally want to submit their financial statements with their annual reports. It takes time for the boards to put those reports and statements together. When that has been done, the documents in question go to the Department before coming to the Oireachtas Library. That is the position with regard to the county enterprise boards. Some of the financial statements were not certified until the end of 2012, or even until 2013 in a few cases. That might have been because explanations were not provided, for example. That is why some of these reports are delayed.
