Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I think the occasion that Deputy Devlin is recalling is that when its accounts and statements were presented, there may have been an issue around non-compliant procurement. However, it may not be enough for a full meeting of the committee. I think that was around September or October of last year. Even on a comparative basis, if you put them up against SEAI, the level of expenditure is four times as much. Also, even from a strategic national point of view, this morning, SEAI was mentioned and how grants for environmental improvements could have a significant impact on the rental market. There are many more issues that would arise generally coming out of SEAI.

On the IHRB, the audit of the 2020 financial statements is not yet complete. There is an issue holding it up. I am waiting for accounts to be submitted for signing. I do not think it is a candidate until that process has been completed.
