It is all voluntary. From that point of view, it is an entirely voluntary process by groups of GPs in a region. Some GPs are involved and others choose not to be. It is a matter for them. We will forward the correspondence to the Joint Committee on Health. It is a matter for that committee. It is a voluntary affair and does not involve public funds. We will forward the correspondence to the Joint Committee on Health for any action it considers appropriate. I do not wish to ignore the correspondence but it would be very much stretching our brief to address it.

The next item is from Mr. Sean Bolger, the CEO and chairman of Imagine Communications Group, and provides information regarding 5G. It will be considered as part of our proceedings today. We will note and publish the correspondence. Agreed? Agreed.

No. 2070 is from an individual and relates to the operation of the Irish election observation roster and a response received from the Department of Foreign Affairs. The individual believes that the selection process was flawed. The individual was not granted a place on the roster and has taken an appeal to the High Court. The committee previously dealt with matters involving another individual in respect of this matter and decided that we would not pursue it any further. I propose that we note the matter. We should not become involved, particularly if a case has been taken to the High Court.
