We will forward that to the Joint Committee for Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach for any action its members consider appropriate. They may want to investigate it. We will not get into the issue of the cost of the banking collapse today.

No. 1941C is from an individual relating to a protected disclosure. The matter was discussed at a private meeting last week and a response conveying the committee's decision will be sent to the individual. Can we note the item and agree that our consideration of the matter is now closed?

In No. 1947C, the head of communications for the Irish Wind Energy Association provided the committee, and every Member of the Oireachtas, with a report on wind energy. It is in public circulation and we will note it.

The next item is statements and accounts received since the last meeting. The first is Údarás na Gaeltachta, where there is a clear audit opinion. The next is the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman. It is a clear audit opinion but it raises the issue of the accrued pension liability, as happens in a lot of public organisations. No. 4.3 is the Ombudsman for the Defence Forces, where there is a clear audit opinion. The next is the Commission for Railway Regulation, for which there is a clear audit opinion. The credit institutions eligible liabilities guarantee scheme account has a clear audit opinion. The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment has a clear audit opinion and the City of Dublin Education and Training Board, CDETB, 2017 accounts have a clear audit opinion, though attention has been drawn to non-compliant procurement of €2.7 million. The board had no internal audit resource in 2017. Why is that? Is this coming to us late?
