Chairman:

We agree that the secretariat will look to receive information on the matter. The next item is in the name of Deputy MacSharry. Perhaps he will be back to the meeting, so I will hold that and revert to it.

Deputy Carthy has flagged the next item of correspondence, No. 008 B, which is from Ms Louise O'Meara, head of policy and secretariat, Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, dated 20 January 2020, providing an update requested by the committee on the investigation regarding EU funds for training purposes in relation to the Garda College, Templemore. Deputy Carthy has suggested that we request an update from GSOC on the status of the investigation with regard to recent reports in the media that it may be impacted by delays.
