Yes.

We move on to individual correspondence. No. 3B.1 relates to payments to the Order of Malta by Horse Racing Ireland, which is to be noted and published and a copy sent to the person who wrote to us in the first place.

No. 3B.2 is correspondence, dated 2015, from Mr. John Quigley from County Kildare, regarding the children's rights referendum campaign. I note his comments. However, the issue relates to a Supreme Court decision, and once the issue was clarified by the court, further expenditure was in accordance with the Constitution. It would only be if that were not the case that the PAC might get involved. It is not a matter for us; the courts have decided.

No. 3C is documents relating to today’s meeting - briefing documents and opening statements, which are all to be noted and published.

No. 4 is reports, statements and accounts received since 25 June. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to comment on No. 4.1, which relates to the Private Residential Tenancies Board.
