We are going back 25 or 30 years. I have made my point. Once we got into that conversation and I looked at the figures, I found them even more strange. We want to finalise things now. Members have gone to vote and we have asked for questions. I thank the witnesses from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, who got off lightly today, for their attendance. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General. The committee agrees to request the clerk to seek any follow-up information that has been raised and any agreed actions arising from today's meeting.

We will suspend and resume in private session at 2.30 p.m. We will deal with Mr. Allen Morgan, a former valuer with the Office of Public Works, in that private session. Next week we will meet the Department of Health and the HSE to examine the appropriation account for 2017 for Vote 38; the financial statements for 2018 for the HSE, which we mentioned last week; and the Comptroller and Auditor General's Report on the Accounts of the Public Services 2017, chapter 16, control of private patient activity in acute hospitals.
