Yes, exactly. That is going to the Commission for Energy Regulation, including the report it attached to that email to us.

Nos. 1440C and 1441C were held over from the previous meeting. They relate to HSE circulars not circulated or implemented and HSE employees who did not make the criteria in the first round of the regularisation process of the Haddington Road agreement. We noted both of these items last week. Shall we agree to advise the correspondent accordingly and send her a copy of the transcript? We discussed this matter in detail at our previous meeting. We will send a transcript and if the correspondent wants to follow up the matter, she can do so.

No. 1442C was also over from last week and relates to the lack of emergency cardiac services at University Hospital Waterford. We had a discussion on the matter last week and we will send a copy of the transcript to the person involved.

No. 1444C was held over from the previous meeting and relates to children's programming on RTÉ. This is a copy of an email sent to RTÉ. There is no specific request for the committee to deal with the matter. Besides, it does not fall not within the remit of the committee. I propose that we forward this to the Joint Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment in order to allow it to take whatever action it proposes as part of its work programme.

No. 1447C was held over from the previous meeting and concerns a previous decision on a request for the committee to investigate the transfer of corporate governance responsibilities arising from the Local Government Reform Act 2014. The matter does not fall within the remit of the committee because the changes referred to were the result of a policy decision and the implementation of the Local Government Reform Act 2014. The previous correspondent was advised accordingly. This current correspondence also asks the question, "Where did the funds held by the Association of Municipal Authorities go when it was dissolved?" In order to be helpful, the clerk has followed up this and it is understood that the funds mentioned, approximately €875,000, were transferred to the Association of Irish Local Government in 2014. The Association of Irish Local Government has provided a note to the clerk and I propose that we forward it to the individual. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 1455C, held over from Deputy Marc MacSharry, regarding the liquidation of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, IBRC. We had a discussion on this in private session at our meeting last Tuesday and we decided that we will write to the Department of Finance and the State Claims Agency regarding the status of a possible discontinuance of a High Court case regarding the matter. The issue of the High Court case prevented the committee from examining certain issues relating to IBRC when we met with its representatives last year, and we wish to ascertain whether these obstacles have been dealt with. We note this, but I again stress that the Committee of Public Accounts is in no way involved with any party in requesting any discontinuance of any court proceeding.

The next item, comprising No. 1461C(i) and (ii), is from Ms Moyagh Murdock, chief executive officer of the Road Safety Authority, RSA, and concerns issues raised regarding the business case for the public services card or any assessments that were undertaken for the project. Shall we note and publish the item? The RSA has requested that we not publish the business case because it contains sensitive commercial information, so we will publish the reply but not the business case. We can revisit this.
