We can check prior to each meeting that the accounts before us are the most up-to-date ones. The fact that the accounts are up to end June is unusual. We will check in future. As there are no other matters arising, we will move on to correspondence received since our meeting on Thursday, 17 January 2013.

Correspondence 3A.1, dated 4 January 2013, is from Mr. Brian Murphy, Chief Executive, National Development Finance Agency, providing information requested at our meeting on 13 December, to be noted.

Correspondence 3A.2, dated 17 December 2012, is from Mr. Brian Murphy, Chief Executive, National Development Finance Agency, providing further information requested at our meeting on 13 December.

Correspondence 3B.1, dated 21 December 2012, is from Mr. Jim O'Brien, Ballyjamesduff, County Cavan, regarding financial oversight of school funds, to be noted and forwarded to the Department of Education and Skills for a note on the matter.

Correspondence 3B.2, dated 22 December 2012, is from Mr. Daniel O'Mahony, Kinsale Road, Cork, regarding the National Property Services Regulatory Authority and Cork County Council, to be noted. A note will be requested from the Department of Justice and Equality on the work and cost of the National Property Services Regulatory Authority given the complaint made by Mr. O'Mahony. The second issue is a matter for the local authority and is outside the remit of the committee. However, we will forward it to the Local Government Auditor for his information.

Does the National Property Services Regulatory Authority come under the remit of the committee?
