Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
While it does not deal with the issue of identifying properties that can be taken in, if properties are identified, or moneys identified, which is the property of the State, it is actually paid into the State Property (Miscellaneous Deposits) Account. Traditionally we have audited it by agreement because it is not a statutory account. The figure that the Chairman mentioned of €10.8 million received in 2014 is in that account. Now that account is not formally presented to the Oireachtas.
