Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
These are issues that arise across the schooling system and, in this case, in one of our agencies. Depending on its nature, each issue could be referred to the Garda. In some instances, an amount can be recouped and it is not necessary to refer it to the Garda, but a number of more high-profile cases have been referred. In some cases, the amounts involved are relatively small. We can provide the committee with more detail if it wishes.
