Yes, and then we will also say we want an update on which public bodies do and do not have access. This issue could have arisen in other public bodies that are given money and get ready to use it and then find they have no statutory or data clearance to use it. The matter might not have been specific to this organisation, so we will try to get the fuller picture on it in the autumn.

No. 1470C is from Ms Oonagh McPhillips, acting Secretary General at the Department of Justice and Equality, and is dated 6 July 2018. We thank her for her work. She appeared before the committee as acting Secretary General and acting Accounting Officer. A new Secretary General has been appointed. We will not get into that controversial issue now. The matter was raised in the Chamber yesterday, I think. The correspondence concerns a report on the provision and operation of GoSafe for An Garda Síochána. We will note and publish this item of correspondence.

No. 1475C is from the Provost of Trinity College, Patrick Prendergast, dated 9 July 2018, providing further information on a cyberfraud relating to Trinity Foundation. I want to deal with this. As part of the financial statements we received, there was a reference to a loss to the foundation of €974,781.

I refer to the circumstances that gave rise to this incident. There was another occurrence of cyber-fraud in the Louth-Meath area. I think something happened in Meath County Council a few years ago.
