Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

As the Chairman has said we did discuss it a number of years ago. I did a report some four years ago on the operation of the State Claims Agency. There was a good discussion at this committee at the time. One of the items that has not been taken from last year's annual report is matters in relation to the National Treasury Management Agency, NTMA. If the committee was minded it could call upon that agency in the future, or when the committee looks at its programme, and maybe it would be timely to ask the State Claims Agency to give an update on developments since it was previously discussed here.
