We will follow up the matter. When we get the information, we will decide how to proceed. This ties into claims paid out by the State Claims Agency, which is currently €2 billion. It is a matter for this committee how these claims can be avoided or minimised by better practices into the future.

The next item on the agenda is reports and statements received since the last meeting, including the National Museum of Ireland, clear audit report, and the Commission for Energy Regulation, clear audit report. It is proposed that we do not note the Trinity College, Dublin accounts until we get clarification on why the Comptroller and Auditor General's audit report is not included in the documentation presented, which it is hoped we will have for the next meeting.

The next item is the committee's work programme. I do not think there are any significant revisions since our last meeting but there is one item we need to discuss. It was agreed previously that representatives of Nursing Homes Ireland would be invited to attend our meeting on 17 May with the National Treatment Purchase Fund in regard to the fair deal scheme.
