Mr. Gordon Conroy:
The Deputy is right. On 26 May 2022, the Minister wrote to the IHRB asking it to remove the derogations. My understanding is that in the interim period, as highlighted there, it was not included in the CEO’s contracts and there were data protection and privacy issues, commercial sensitivities and so on. While it did not appear in the 2021 accounts, we have received the 2022 unaudited accounts and it appeared in that.
