It needs to be tidied up.

On behalf of the other members of the committee, I thank the witnesses from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for participating in the meeting and the material supplied. We have no problem and will wait to receive the outstanding documents. There is general appreciation of the quality of the information received from the witnesses' Department. There is no issue in that regard. We will formally sign off when we come to review our own proceedings. I also thank the staff of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General.

We will be meeting in private session in the afternoon. Our next public meeting will be held on Thursday, 14 December at 9 a.m. when we will meet officials from the Department of Finance to discuss chapter 3 of the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the cost of the bank stabilisation measures at the end of 2016. We will be joined by officials from the Department of Finance and the liquidators of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC, formerly Anglo Irish Bank.
