The Deputy did indeed. We will ask for a more up to date position.

No. 660C is a briefing paper prepared by the Oireachtas Library and Research Service, which provides an overview of the current funding model for Irish Water. It provides information on the role of the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government and the Commission for Energy Regulation on Irish Water. On the same issue, No. 679C is from the managing director of Irish Water to advise that the information requested will be provided by 13 July 2017. If that letter comes tomorrow, because it is from a public body I ask members to review it themselves. The briefing note was from the Oireachtas library service and I am sure it has been widely circulated in the Oireachtas already. People can comment on and use it. The issue will come back on the agenda. We will move on.

No. 666C, dated 6 June 2017, is from Michael Lyons, chief executive officer of Towards Healing, an external group which provides non-judgmental counselling to survivors of clerical, religious and institutional abuse, on Special Report No 69 of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the child abuse inquiry. The correspondence states information supplied by Caranua and statements made on 13 April 2017 are factually incorrect. I propose we write to Caranua for a formal response. Is that agreed?
