On behalf of the Committee of Public Accounts, I thank all our witnesses from the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for participating in the meeting and for the material they have supplied. I hope Ms Licken's first appearance was not too painful.

We are unable to dispose of chapter 15 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report or Vote 33 until we have considered and discussed this matter further. We publish periodic reports, so testimony given today will form part of that report. In terms of the material we have asked would be sent to the committee, the quicker that information is given to us and the more comprehensive it is, the easier it will be for us to compile our reports. The witnesses might send the committee a detailed note on the post-project review process and what that will entail. That would be helpful. There were detailed notes on costs and I ask that any other information sought be sent to the committee.
