Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The first set of statements is from the City of Dublin Education and Training Board, CDETB, for 2020. The turnover was €574 million. It is the largest of the ETBs but members will be aware that it includes all student support grant payments. I issued a clear audit opinion but I drew attention to non-compliance with procurement rules. I believe the figure was approximately €2.9 million, excluding VAT.

The second set is from Letterkenny Institute of Technology for 2019 and 2020. There is a clear audit opinion.

The third set is from the Travellers' Protection Fund and the travel agents and tour operators bond accounts for 2020. That has a clear audit opinion.

The fourth set is from the Western Development Commission for 2020. It has a clear audit opinion.

The fifth set is from the Commission for Railway Regulation for 2020. It has a clear audit opinion.
