Yes we will send back the response from the Minister but other than that we are not able to actively pursue current waiting lists. That is straying into the job of the Joint Committee on Health.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1491C from Mr. Mark Griffin, Secretary General of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, dated 19 July enclosing information requested by the committee on what appears to be a far from complete remediation of a landfill site at Whitestown, Co. Wicklow. I recommend members to read this item. Does any member have a comment on this? We note and publish it and we may return to it next week because it is quite extensive.

The next item of correspondence, No. 1572C dated 15 September, is related to the previous item and is from the individual who originally raised the matter with the committee. He has provided further details. We will note and publish the response from the Department and send a copy to the individual who made the inquiry. We note the individual's correspondence and if members wish to discuss it next week please feel free to do so.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1494C from Ms Mary Lawlor from NAMA, dated 23 July replying to our inquiries on the sale of a property adjacent to AIB headquarters. It had been suggested that the property had belonged to a NAMA debtor. NAMA has confirmed that the individual was never a NAMA debtor. We will note and publish this. Is that agreed? Agreed. We will write back to the individual.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1497C from Mr. John McKeon, Secretary General of the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection on a protected disclosure made in respect of St. Munchin's Community Centre, Kileely Court, Limerick. Mr. McKeon advises that the Department will keep the committee updated on the outcome of this investigation. We will note and publish this.
