Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
It is an agency under the Department of Education and Skills. There seems to have been an oversight, or some confusion, over the submission of financial statements. There are four sets of financial statements, for 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013. Apparently, the 2011 financial statements were laid yesterday as well. I think what happened is that the financial statements were being sent to the Department but an annual report was also being sent to the Department. The annual reports were laid in the Oireachtas but the financial statements were presumed to be in the annual reports and were not. They have rectified that now and brought it up to date.
