Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: I apologise for interrupting the Chair. I am getting confused at this point. Some €110 million was provided to Caranua under section 42 of the Residential Institutions Statutory Fund Act 2012. Is that correct?

I believe in the public sector, as well as lifelong learning, in which I have a particular interest. Our function is to make the system accountable in order that it can be improved. There was a refund from SOLAS to the Department. Will the witnesses tell us about the circumstances of that refund?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: I understand that but my point is more about the use of the money, given the many problems with functional illiteracy. It is between 17% and 20% and has never changed despite all the investment. Why are moneys being handed back when there is significant use for them? I am picking one when there are many others. Illiteracy is obvious. If between 17% and 20% of the population is...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 99 - Public Sector Financial Reporting for 2015 (16 Nov 2017) Catherine Connolly: Yes, but the figure for illiteracy has remained constant since it was assessed in the 1970s. That is a reflection on our education system and all of us. If there is spare money, there should be a particular project for a specific time to finally deal with illiteracy and not accept it. It is not an inevitable difficulty and should be dealt with. Many other countries have dealt with it.
