Absolutely. We will come back to it next week. We have done No. 603B regarding Caranua.

No. 607B, (i) to (iv), is correspondence from the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Committee’s examination of the Garda Síochána Templemore issue, including a briefing note on the accounting officer's obligations, which is dated 7 July 2015, from Michael Culhane. It has been referred to and discussed. We note and will publish it.

No. 608B is email correspondence from Cyril Dunne, former chief administrative officer, An Garda Síochána, with details of the membership of the two steering committees. It has been circulated and discussed publicly. We note it. We are really just catching up on correspondence we did not note publicly at the meeting on Tuesday.

No. 609B is correspondence from Niall Kelly, head of internal audit, An Garda Síochána, regarding the EU-funded programmes. It was discussed. We note and publish it.

No. 611B is correspondence dated 19 June 2017 from An Garda Síochána with details of compliance to Standards in Public Office, SIPO, declarations. We note and publish that. It has already been discussed.

No. 612B is correspondence dated 19 June 2017 from the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána on the draft audit report on EU-funded programmes. It was discussed on Tuesday and we note and publish the document. We are only doing it as a formality at this stage.

No. 613B is correspondence dated 19 June 2017 from the Deputy Commissioner of An Garda Síochána clarifying the advice referred to at the meeting on 14 June 2017 was advice received from the then chief administrative officer, Mr. Cyril Dunne, and not Mr. Ken Ruane, the head of legal affairs. Also included are communications from the head of legal affairs with the Department of Justice and Equality. That was discussed and we note and publish it.

Item No. 615B is a copy of correspondence dated 12 June 2017 from the executive director, human resources and people development, An Garda Síochána to the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána. We noted and discussed it before and we will publish it now.
