We are going to write to Trinity College Dublin and ask for a detailed note. If we see any further examples we will have to look at that specifically. We have seen two examples of fraud. The money taken from the foundation may not have been taxpayer money but rather money from donations, but if the foundation loses money the deficit will have to be made up eventually.

The next item is the work programme. On Thursday, 28 June, the Tax Appeals Commission and the Revenue Commissioners will appear at the second session at 11.30 a.m. to deal with tax debt write-offs, withholding taxes and the appropriation accounts. The Tax Appeals Commission is a new organisation. There has always been a tax appeals commissioner, but there is a new structure in place. It is a new organisation with a separate Vote, so it will be dealt with separately. On 5 July, the HSE will appear before the committee. On 12 July, the National Treasury Management Agency will appear before the committee, including the State Claims Agency and all the organisations under its remit.

Is there any other business? I want to refer to one item of business in private session. Can we go into private session for a moment? Is there anything else to deal with in public session? We have to deal with two issues in private session, namely, one item of correspondence and the discussion document circulated by the committee secretariat about preparing information for a periodic report. It depends on how much time people have had to look at the document in advance, but we do have to clear it quite quickly. It does not have to be finished today.
