Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The final set of financial statements for the committee to note is the appropriation account of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission for 2024, which is obviously the focus of today's public meeting. It received a clear audit opinion. However, I drew attention to a material level of procurement non-compliance and also to the disclosure of an independent review that identified weaknesses in control over a minor construction project, which was, of course, the bicycle shelter. I will outline more in relation to that in the opening comments.
