I will deal with the work programme in a moment but that is a big item. It is the next item on the agenda.

Financial statements received since 24 November include the Athlone Institute of Technology. It got a clear report. We also received the 2012 and 2013 accounts from the National College of Art and Design. It got a qualified opinion. The college kept inadequate records for the period of account. That is very serious. Serious issues were raised by the Comptroller and Auditor General on the system of internal control. The deferred pension funding issue is standard for all universities. Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General could say why we are only getting the 2012 accounts now from the National College of Art and Design.
