It may have been that the secretary to the board was there but maybe none of the executives. Fine. If there is an issue, we will come back to it, but it seems to be a minor point. We will circulate that if it has not been circulated.

Correspondence category C is from private individuals and any other correspondence. Item No. 281C, formally notes correspondence received from Deputy MacSharry, which has been circulated. It was mentioned at the last meeting. The correspondence relates to a property acquisition by Galway County Council in 2007. We have agreed to note it and we can specifically raise it with the Secretary General of the Department. I think he is coming in. We will talk to Deputy MacSharry about it. The Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government will be before the committee in the next couple of weeks. We will formally put him on notice that we will raise that topic, and we can decide if we want to take it further after that.

Item No. 282C is a letter from Professor William Donnelly, the president of Waterford Institute of Technology, clarifying a comment that he made at the Committee of Public Accounts meeting in December 2015 regarding directorship of a campus company. We note this. Deputy Cullinane wants to comment.
