There is a final matter on this topic before we move on to complete the rest of the correspondence. There is an item of correspondence, PAC32-R-408C, directly related to this. It concerns the financial statements for the Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board, which was a serious outlier in terms of late accounts. The letter we received from it during the week states that when "setting targets for the resolution of these issues [that is its accounts] we expect to resolve the 2013-2014 financial statement issue in the middle of May 2017 and the 2015 financial statements by June 2017". It says that the support of the senior auditor of the Comptroller and Auditor General has provided templates for the remainder of the work, which will be progressing satisfactorily. We are writing back to say that we want confirmation from the board in the first week of July that it has complied with the two timetables it has given us.
