REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL.


I have examined the foregoing Accounts and Balance Sheet. They have been prepared in the form approved by the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries as required by Section 19 of the Agriculture (An Foras Talúntais) Act, 1958. I have obtained all the information and explanations that I have required, and I certify as the result of my audit that in my opinion these accounts are correct. I have no observations to make upon them.
