I would be disappointed if Deputy Kelly was not more up to speed than the correspondent. The Deputy is on top of the job, which is good.

No. 745 is correspondence from an individual raising questions about payments from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the European fund for his herd of cattle. The secretariat has reviewed the letter the Department sent to the previous committee on this matter, which includes a history of compensation payments to the individual. I propose that we respond to the individual by enclosing a copy of the earlier correspondence and pointing out that it is not the intention of the committee to reopen the matter.
