andMr. White asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry the reason he stated in reply to parliamentary Question No. 12 on 10 June, 1980 that there was a delay in auditing the annual report of An Bord Iascaigh Mhara when the report shows that the auditor signed it on 31 December 1979.
In my reply I stated that there were unavoidable delays in the preparation and auditing of the accounts of An Bord Iascaigh Mhara for 1978. That statement was correct as the accounts had not been prepared and audited until 31st December, 1979. Following the signing of the auditors report the accounts had to be cleared with my Department and the Department of Finance before the report and accounts could be sent for printing.
