Yes, and we will certainly return to that.

The next item on our agenda is correspondence received since the last meeting. The first item is a letter from the Minister for Finance accepting the invitation today and we will note that. The second item, 85B, is a copy of an e-mail forwarded by Deputy Noel Rock, dated 13 February 2014, from Mr. Michael R. George, managing director of Fortress Capital, to Mr. Andrew McDowell in the Department of An Taoiseach asking how he might get involved in the sales process of NAMA's Northern Ireland portfolio. That is noted. I thank Deputy Rock for submitting this, which was referred to during our last meeting. It is now part of the correspondence for consideration by the committee and we will add it to the list of relevant documentation in our file.

The next item is 86B, a letter from Ms Teresa Griffin, chief executive of the National Council for Special Education, in response to the committee's query as to why no review of the council's internal financial control system was carried out in 2015. The letter points out that a review was carried out. However, the organisation was waiting for the Minister to appoint members to the council and the review could not be examined until that was done. There were no significant issues found and it is good to clarify that. That is noted.
