De thoradh an fhiosruithe a chuireas á dhéanamh sa chás seo, tá tuairisc fáighte agam a léiríonn go ndearnadh stocliostaí áirithe a chur san áireamh faoi dhó sna cuntaisí sin. Tháinig de sin, agus d'earraidí cléireachais de shuim £7 5s. 3d. a tugadh faoi deara, gur taispeánadh méadú de £14,114 10s. Od. thar an gceart sa luach a tugadh síos do na stocanna d'ábhair agus d'earraí a bhí ar láimh ag deireadh na bliana.
So, the account is incorrect after all and it took £72 of public moneys to deceive the House and the people?
Cuireadh stoc áirithe faoi dhó sna cuntaisí.

asked the Minister for the Gaeltacht whether the accounts for Gaeltarra Éireann for the year 1959-60 have been certified by the Board; if they have been submitted to the Comptroller and Auditor General, and if so, when; and when they are likely to be published, and the reason for the delay.
Síníodh na cuntais don bhliain 1959-60 thar ceann an Bhoird ar an 2ú Eanáir, 1961, agus chuir an tArd-Reachtaire Cuntas agus Ciste an thuarascáil iniúchóra leo ar an 5ú Eanáir. Cuireadh á gclóbhualadh ansin iad agus fuaireas-sa cóipeanna clóbhuailte ar an 21ú Feabhra. Leagfar faoi bhráid gach Tí den Oireachtas iad a luaithe is féidir. Tuigim ón mBord gur deacrachtaí fóirne is mó a chuir moill ar ullmhú na gcuntas seo.
