I was chairman of An Post in the 1980s and one of our challenges as a semi-State body was to set a standard in publishing accounts within three months. We were able to do so in the 1980s and get the accounts to the Minister of the day. Having set out to win an award and establish accounting standards, we wished to have the accounts published within three months but when we handed them over to the then Minister, he acted as if he intended to sit on them. However, we pursued him and succeeded in getting him to publish the accounts within a further month. In the current context, we are not discussing publication of the accounts but handing them over to auditors for publication at a later stage. I believe three months is quite sufficient. I know of no other State company where a six months period applies. That appears to be a throwback to a previous era.
