They might attend. We need to get the breakdown by local authority.

On the credit policy, I am told it is historical. They never published it in the past. The tradition is alive and well. It may be a Victorian rule not to tell the people what is going on; I do not know.

Correspondence No. 1755 is from Mr. John McKeon, Secretary General, Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, providing information requested by the committee. It relates to our periodic report No. 2. He has come back with details of medical assessors and overpayments. I do not believe that relates specifically to last week's meeting, but to a previous request for information. We note and publish that.

Correspondence No. 1756 is from Mr. Mark Griffin, Secretary General, Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, providing information on historic landfill remediation sites, moneys recouped in respect of these and the working group on greenhouse gas emissions. We note and publish this. Members can raise it with the Secretary General in public session today.

Correspondence No. 1757 is from the general manager of Tusla, stating that an item which we dealt with last week as correspondence No. 1738 is not complete and that we will get a full response shortly. We note this and publish that correspondence. We await the full response.

Correspondence No. 1758 is from the Secretary General, Department of Education and Skills, providing information requested by the committee on the decision-making process on the acquisition of the Harold's Cross Stadium site; how the final sum was agreed; and the circumstances which gave rise to the Department contacting the Valuation Office with reference to the protocols for transfer. We note and publish that. Obviously we will have a discussion on this.
