-----and we now have to shove the door open. We must plan how we go about it. We will discuss that in private session but we will be coming back to it in detail. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The next item of correspondence is item 1237B from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Donohoe, dated 18 April 2018. Following receipt of the minute provided by the Minister to the committee on our report on financial procedures at the Garda College, Templemore, the committee requested further information. The item provides an update on the implementation of the interim audit report, a copy of a communications protocol between, I presume, the Department and An Garda Síochána, and a copy of the external review of the internal audit function within An Garda Síochána, which was carried out by a company called KOSI Corporation. I looked the company up. It is a Northern Ireland company which I had never heard of previously but it seems to have done a good job. I am not saying it is perfect but there is a lot in there. Members are free to analyse it and use it, and refer to the document anywhere along the line. It is good when we do not take a response from a Minister at face value and we interrogate it and go back for more information. It is surprising every time we do that. It contains a lot of information to be given to us. We note and publish that.

The next item is correspondence item 1239B from Mr. Mark Griffin, Secretary General, Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, in response to further information requested by the committee regarding landfill sites, costs and a note on moneys recouped from privately run landfill sites. I seem to have missed that.
