Yes, the last committee got into it in more detail than we feel we should. There have been arbitrators' reports all over the place on this. We are not here to re-arbitrate on arbitrators' reports. That is not our function. As the Deputy has said, lots of correspondents have given us copies of arbitrators' reports over the years but that is not our function. We will get the correspondence from the Taoiseach's office and make sure that the item is dealt with.

The next item of correspondence is No. 501C, a document I received in connection with HSE spending in University Hospital Galway. I do not know the executive's views on what is involved so I propose that we write to the HSE requesting a response to that item of correspondence.

Item No. 502C (i) and (ii) is a copy of correspondence sent to the Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform by an individual regarding a waste of taxpayers' money. This is a copy of correspondence and is not direct correspondence to this committee. We will note this item.

The next item is No. 503C (i) to (vi) dated 17 May from an individual referred to as Person A in hearings in the University of Limerick. The correspondence states that the evidence that was presented by the university to this committee was misleading and includes a report to that effect. The details contained are quite personal. I propose that we write to the individual and suggest that she may wish to bring this to the attention of the review board being led by Dr. Richard Thorn. Confidential, personal medical information has been sent to this committee. Dr. Thorn is examining this area and I believe we should ask the correspondent to send the information directly to him. Is that agreed? Agreed.
