It is guaranteed that we will follow that up if we have not had that. We will come back to the Deputy directly.

I shall now turn to matters arising from the minutes and further correspondence received. Next is No. 1251 from the Department of the Taoiseach, dated 26 April 2018, providing briefing for today’s meeting that was held earlier.

Nos. 1260 and 1264, from Ms Dee Forbes, director general, RTÉ, are dated 30 April 2018. We will note and publish that. The committee will meet representatives of RTÉ at 2.30 p.m. today.

No. 1262 is the opening statement for today's meeting from Martin Fraser, Secretary General, Department of the Taoiseach, dated 1 May 2018. This is noted and will be published.

The next correspondence is from Accounting Officers or Ministers and follow-up to Committee of Public Accounts meetings, as well as other items for publishing.

No. 1239 B was held over from the last meeting. It is from Mark Griffin, Secretary General, Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, dated 19 April 2018 and is in response to further information requested by the committee regarding landfill sites, costs and a note on moneys recouped from privately run sites. This is noted. Deputies now have this information to use and deal with as they see fit.

No. 1250 from John McCarthy, Secretary General, Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, is dated 26 April 2018. It provides a follow-up on public private partnerships, PPPs, and post-project reviews carried out by Irish Water. This is noted and will be published. We also will come back to the issue of PPPs. We will not get into a debate on this issue now. We have a lot of work to do and this will be part of our work when we come back to it.
