Yes. That is what we want to know. I think the Valuation Office will understand what we are asking. If the person writing the letter on behalf of the committee is not sure, I can send him or her a copy of the transcript. The committee can be blamed if the person does not understand it.

No. 2416, dated 26 September 2019, is from an individual regarding the 2017 Comptroller and Auditor General special report on the provision of school transport. We considered a related item from this correspondent last week and suggested that he write to the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport. The individual obviously followed the debate here last week and this letter has stated that he is happy to do so.

That covers all the correspondence we have had since July. We come to financial statements and accounts that have been laid before the Oireachtas since the last meeting. The first one is the Health Insurance Authority, for which there is a clear audit opinion. As with all health organisations, there is an issue of funding for pensions. The next item is the risk equalisation fund, for which there is a clear audit opinion. What is that? Is that for the private health insurance?
