Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
The first set of financial statements submitted is the Royal Irish Academy for 2020. It is a clear audit opinion but I draw attention to recognition of a deferred pension funding asset. This is similar to the university sector bodies. It is a standard matter that I draw attention to.
Number two is the fishery harbours centres for 2020. It is a clear audit opinion.
Number three relates to InterTradeIreland, which is one of the North-South bodies, for 2020. It is a clear audit opinion.
Number four is Institute of Technology, Tralee, a dissolved body for which this is the final set of financial statements. It relates to 2019 and 2020, an extended accounting period. That gets a clear audit opinion.
Finally, Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board 2020 gets a clear audit opinion.
The InterTradeIreland account was signed off on 9 August so there appears to be a delay. The committee might wish to pursue an explanation for that delay.
