Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:
We have raised it with the board. If the accounts were late we would have asked why they were late. Deputy Burke will be aware that Bord na gCon has had a change of leadership recently but that would not have been a factor in this regard. Ultimately, it is a matter for the State body to meet the requirement. I agree with Deputy Burke that Bord na gCon should meet the requirement in a timely way.
