Deputy Connolly is right that the person is entitled to write to the committee. I am dealing with it as Chairman. As I said, I would have raised the issues that were raised had no other member done so. We do not publish correspondence from individuals because to do so would assign parliamentary privilege to that correspondence. All the category C correspondence from private individuals is dealt with in this way.

No. 2399C, dated 24 July, is from the Louth Environmental Group. It concerns a flood risk mitigation project in Dundalk, County Louth, an issue on which the correspondent contacted the committee on a previous occasion. It is a copy of correspondence sent to the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government. Is it agreed that we note the correspondence?
