Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

There is a relatively unusual provision which enables the committee to examine HRI. The same applies to Bord na gCon. It is included in specific legislation and the clerk might need to look at it. There are some activities in respect of which the agencies are accountable to the agriculture committee.

Some matters come to be examined by the Committee of Public Accounts. I have not looked at it recently. There may be demarcation issues in this regard.
