There is possibly a category that is not captured by the legislation. I am referring to money that does not go into the poor box and is meant to be paid directly to a victim or an organisation. As we want to know how such instances will be captured under the legislation, we will write back to the Department on the matter. All I can say is that we are keeping on top of it. We will ask the Minister when the Bill is expected to be passed. I do not even know if it is a Government or a Private Members' Bill, but we will ask for details.

No. 2064 is correspondence received received from Mr. Paul O'Toole, chief executive officer, Higher Education Authority, providing information on the independent review of the sale of companies at Waterford Institute of Technology. The authority advises that we cannot proceed further on this matter and provides an update on the latest developments. The next item is related. No. 2065 is correspondence received from Mr. William Beausang, Department of Education and Skills, providing information which sets out the Department's position on correspondence received from the Waterford Institute of Technology on the independent review of the sale of companies at Waterford Institute of Technology. The Department has put a number of questions to WIT. When the responses are received, we will consider them and advise the Minister on the next steps to be taken. We note and publish the correspondence. Deputy Cullinane wants to speak about the matter.
