We will hold it over so that members can have an opportunity to consider it in advance of the next meeting. We will not conclude the matter.

Next is No. 598C, correspondence dated 15 June from an individual regarding the Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board. There is insufficient detail in the correspondence for the committee to take any action. All we can do is note it. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Next is No. 599C, correspondence dated 9 June from the Department of Finance attaching a copy of the 2016 annual report and financial statements of the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland. We note that.

Next is 600C, correspondence dated 24 May from an individual regarding the transfer of salary arrangements from the Department of Social Protection to PeoplePoint, that is, the HR shared services centre for the Civil Service. This is a policy matter not within the remit of the committee, so I propose that we refer it to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for a response. When we get a response, we will consider the matter further.

Next is No. 601C, correspondence dated 9 June 2017 from an individual regarding the excavation of drains in Galway and making certain allegations against named persons.

It is a local authority issue.

Is that agreed? Agreed.
