Waterways Ireland again receives a clear audit opinion. Sorry, that was last week. Are there any other questions on the accounts and financial statements? No. Can we agree to note the listing of the accounts and financial statements? Agreed. As usual, accounts and financial statements will be published as part of the minutes.

We will move on to correspondence. As previously agreed, items that are not flagged for discussion for this meeting will be dealt with in accordance with the proposed actions that have been circulated, and decisions taken by the committee in respect of correspondence are recorded in the minutes of the committee's meetings and published on the committee's webpage. Four items have been flagged for discussion. These are under category B, which is correspondence from Accounting Officers and their Ministers and follow-up to PAC meetings.

The first is No. 2544 from Ms Oonagh McPhillips, Secretary General of the Department of Justice, dated 19 April. It provides follow-up information requested at the meeting of 29 February 2024. It includes information on immigration, visa processing, international protection, citizenship processing, carrier liability, the Prison Service and the Probation Service. It proposed to note and publish this item. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputy Murphy and I flagged it. Does she wish to comment on it first?
