For the Deputy's information there are two bodies under the aegis of my Department that are classified as companies, namely Léargas Ltd and Skillnets Ltd. Léargas is a not-for-profit organisation that manages European, national and international exchange and cooperation programmes in education, training and youth and community work. Skillnets is a state funded, enterprise-led support body dedicated to the promotion and facilitation of training and upskilling as key elements in sustaining Ireland's national competitiveness. I can confirm that neither chief executives retired from the companies above in the past four years.
