Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I do not know. I have sought to find out what the problem was. Members can see the accounts were certified on 6 December 2019. I looked at the appropriation account of the Department of Education and at that stage, the end of March, it noted it had received the accounts but the laying of the accounts was pending. For some reason, that did not happen between March and November. There were three other sets of accounts pending at that stage so I have asked to check that each of those sets has since been laid.
