Wonderful. It is a clear audit opinion.

The Arts Council also received a clear audit opinion but, in his report, the Comptroller and Auditor General states:

Attention is drawn to weaknesses in the controls over grant payments. The Council has made provision for payments of €196,000 due in relation to grants awarded in 2017 under an arts programme. The Council had provided funding for these grants to an outside agency, now in liquidation, but the agency had not paid over the grants to the intended beneficiaries.
