It is the Midlands Prison in Portlaoise. We will follow that up.
The next item is No. 913C, correspondence dated 15 November 2017, from Deputy Josepha Madigan, Chair to the Committee on Budgetary Oversight, regarding the Coffey report into corporation tax. We will note that. We have our job to do.
The next item is No. 915C dated 13 November 2017 from an individual following up on information received on the thoroughbred foal levy from the Department. We got a reply from the Department which we sent to the gentleman concerned and he has written back with a further detailed reply. We will note it. Essentially, he calls for a change in the legislation to have the levy based on a percentage of sales. We cannot change the legislation in the Committee of Public Accounts. We will note the request. I do not think we can take it any further. We have exhausted the issue. There was a Private Member's Bill introduced by Deputy Clare Daly in the Dáil but it did not proceed. I do not think the Bill got to Second Stage.
