I support amendment No. 1 moved by Senator Tully, which seeks to ensure that: Accounts of the Fund shall be prepared on an annual basis, in such form and ... in such manner as the Minister for Finance may direct, and the Comptroller and Auditor General shall examine, evaluate and certify every such account and a copy thereof, together with the report thereon of the Comptroller and Auditor General, shall be laid by the Minister before each House of the Oireachtas. The Comptroller and Auditor General's examination power and current audit of the NTF accounts comprise a sufficient check to ensure the appropriate use of the NTF in accordance with the National Training Fund Act.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2025-12-17, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
