I presume it was. The Deputy has raised two issues. First, we will correct the record with the Transparency International. Second, it is important that this person be informed that the documentation has been widely circulated in the context of it going to Revenue, the Garda, Members of the House and so on. We cannot be responsible for what appears in the newspapers.

3B.6 is correspondence received from various sources regarding the failure of the NMBI to publish annual accounts, to be noted and a copy forwarded to the Department of Health for a note on the matters raised. 3B.7 is correspondence, dated 26 November 2014, received from Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú, Secretary General, Department of Education and Skills, regarding allegations of malpractice in the IT Tralee, to be noted.

The correspondence relevant to today's meeting is No. 3C.1, correspondence of 2 December 2014 from the Revenue Commissioners, is an opening statement, to be noted and published.

The next matter is reports, statements and accounts received since our meeting on 27 November 2014. Item 4.1 is the Heritage Fund accounts for year ended 31 December 2013. There is a clear audit there. The other three items are the Credit Institutions Resolution Fund, Railway Safety Commission and the Adoption Authority of Ireland. The accounts are to be noted and the committee will examine the Credit Institutions Resolution Fund at next week's meeting. Our work programme is on the screens.

We have two further meetings: one with the credit institutions and the other one the following week with NAMA. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Is there any other business members wish to raise? If there is no other business, can we agree our agenda for Thursday, 11 December 2014, which is the meeting with the credit institutions. Is that agreed? Agreed.
