We will write directly to the Department on that issue.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1501 from Mr. Derek Moran, Secretary General of the Department of Finance, in response to the committee's request for a note on the appointment process for the investment committee of the NTMA. We note and publish that. There is a straightforward procedure for those appointments.

The next item is No. 1502 from Mr. Fergal Costello of the Department of Rural and Community Development, dated 31 July. He provides a copy of the statutory review of the Dormant Account Fund. I suggest that we hold that over. A very sensible report has been produced. The committee has previously examined the Dormant Account Fund. It will probably come up as part of our periodic report. It was a shambles which moved from Department to Department. Nobody cared about it or was proactive.
