Someone got there in front of this committee. I was just made aware of it recently. We will publish it because it has already been made available.

No. 1645B is from Mr. Robert Watt, Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, replying to information requested by the committee regarding PPP reviews. We will note and publish this and raise it with the Secretary General when he is here.

No. 1646B is from Mr. Robert Watt regarding the view of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on the Exchequer and Audit Department Act 1866. We will note and publish that. There is a fair response to the issues raised.

No. 1647B is from Mr. Watt and is in regard to our request for a copy of the value-for-money review of Irish public bodies that was conducted. We can raise this with him. He is saying it is up to the Local Government Management Agency to provide a copy to us. He had sight of it but was not the author or commissioner of the report. Therefore, we have written to the agency separately for the report because it commissioned it. We can note and publish the letter.

Regarding group C, one item was held over from the last day and we will continue to hold it over.

No. 1618C is from the individual who corresponded with the committee regarding the review of property transactions in the OPW. This matter was discussed at last week's meeting. We will note that. We want to check some documentation before we decide to publish it or otherwise.

Correspondence 1628C and 1629C, from Deputy Murphy, provide replies to parliamentary questions regarding Garda masts and properties. These matters were raised at last week's meeting. It is very interesting information.
