Okay.

That is fine.

The next item is No. 1042, correspondence from Deputy Catherine Murphy. Since she is not here, she has asked us to hold that over until next week. Correspondence No. 1043 is from an individual who has made a disclosure under the Protected Disclosures Act to the Minister for Education and Skills. The person is employed in the Institute of Technology in Tallaght. The person believes they have been bullied and victimised and have raised issues in regard to the Protected Disclosures Act itself. This is one of over 30 pieces of correspondence from the same individual since January. I have asked the clerk not to circulate this documentation. As the disclosure has been made to the Minister, I believe that process needs to be completed. Furthermore, the committee does not involve itself in individual cases relating to a person's employment. I propose that we write to the individual accordingly and I seek agreement on the committee not to circulate the items. Is that agreed? Agreed.
