We have received significant helpful information. I wish to raise an issue on the Vote on the Central Statistics Office. We got information on global valuations and this included the valuation of Irish Water. I want to make a formal request to the joint committee to invite the Central Statistics Office to discuss its work on the market corporation test in respect of Irish Water and to elaborate on the methodologies and processes. I know the CSO will send the information to EUROSTAT. Many people are confused about how the CSO is dealing with this issue. I would like the Central Statistics Office to receive an invitation to discuss as soon as possible the matter of Irish Water separately from what we are discussing today. It would be similar to the invitation to the regulator of the national lottery to come before us next week. Does the Chairman require that I put this in writing?
