The next item is No. 1637 B from Ms Ann-Marie Walsh from the Office of Public Works, providing the managing valuer's report on five historic cases on foot of a preceding submission to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I note that we had that before and it is being held over again.

No. 1640 B is from Mr. Timothy Owens, chief executive of Cork Education and Training Board, ETB, providing further information requested by the committee regarding employment policies in Cork ETB. The item was held over from last week's meeting. It was agreed to circulate the transcript of a meeting of the committee in 2015 and this was circulated to members yesterday. I wondered what was going on when I got that 90 page email. I was scratching my head, wondering why that was asked for, and this is the answer. In the meantime, the correspondent who made the original enquiry and is the subject matter of the case has contacted the secretariat for a copy of the letter from the ETB and I propose to send this to the correspondent. We will also note and publish the correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 1649 B is from the Secretary General of the Department of Education and Skills, Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú. It relates to a previous item and is a response to a question regarding the possible prohibiting of people from applying for employment or re-employment as part of any legal settlement. This came to our attention in relation to Cork ETB. We will note and publish this and send it to the correspondent who has contacted us on this topic.

No. 1650 B is from Ms Kerrie-Anne Galvin from the National Treatment Purchase Fund on a review of the pricing mechanism for long-term residential care in the private and voluntary sector. Work is ongoing. We will note and publish the letter. We will mark that down and we want a copy of the report as soon as it is completed.
