I recommend that members of the public look at the document on the committee website because they will find it educational. We have dealt with that now and we will put the EPA on our work programme.

The next item of correspondence received since the previous meeting is No. 1864 from the private secretary of the Secretary General of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government. It provides an update on ongoing work being undertaken by the Department to revise procedures regarding local authority land purchases and associated borrowings. It is a short letter, which states the Department is preparing a circular which will be forwarded to the committee when it has been issued. There has not been much activity in that area in recent times.

No. 1888 is from the Louth and Meath Education and Training Board dated 22 January 2019. It provides an update on information requested by the committee with regard to invoice redirection fraud. The letter states that all the board has recovered today to date is €284.50. What was the scale of this? Can anyone remind me of the amount?
