We need to examine how legally valid are such leases. I agree with the Deputy. Perhaps we will hold it over and conclude it at our next meeting, with specifics.

We will now move to correspondence from individuals. The committee has not met for a fortnight so there has been a slight build-up in correspondence.

No. 2038, dated 4 March, is from an individual who is querying new arrangements relating to access to primary dental care. The matter does not fall within the remit of the committee. Can we note the item? We will not publish it because it is an individual complaint.

No. 2040, dated 5 March, is from an individual who has several queries regarding the committee’s reports relating to An Garda Síochána. The individual is seeking an update. It is good to see that our reports are being examined carefully by members of the public. I propose we forward the queries to An Garda Síochána for a response. We will note that item and look forward to receiving a response.

No. 2042 is a note prepared by the liaison officer on non-competitive procurement. We will note that and deal with it as part of our next periodic report.

No. 2043, dated 6 March, is from Mr. Tadhg Daly, chief executive officer, CEO, of Nursing Homes Ireland, and requests that the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General provide an update to the committee regarding its proposed report relating to an examination of the nursing home support scheme. Is there a proposed report?
