We are joined by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, as a permanent witness to the committee, and he is joined by Ms Orla Duane, deputy director of audit. I would like to welcome the Comptroller and Auditor General and all the members back after what I hope was a good break. I also welcome a new member of the committee, Deputy Imelda Munster. We look forward to her input while working with us. I thank Deputy Jonathan O'Brien, whom Deputy Munster is replacing, for all his work on the committee.

The first item is the minutes of the meeting of 11 July 2019. Are they agreed? Agreed. We will move onto correspondence received. Because of the summer break, we have a substantial amount of correspondence in front of us. We will go through as much of it as we can but we might not get it all dealt with today. We can come back next week to deal with anything not dealt with today. There will be no voting session in the Dáil today. We will commence with Bord na gCon at 11 a.m. and we will be able to follow the timetable.
