The other item is financial statements and accounts. There were five sets of financial statements and accounts laid before the Dáil between 9 and 30 October 2020. The Comptroller and Auditor General has issued a clear audit opinion in all cases. However, the Athlone Institute of Technology statement on the internal control disclosed a significant expenditure on goods and services that was non-compliant with procurement procedures. We will continue our practice of requesting an explanation for this non-compliance. Is that agreed? Agreed.
