We are joined remotely by the Comptroller and Auditor General Mr. Seamus McCarthy as a permanent witness to the committee.

Apologies were received from Deputy Neasa Hourigan.

The minutes of the meetings of the 21 and 22 October have been circulated. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As previously agreed, the minutes will be published.

I now propose that we go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters before resuming in public session to deal with correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed.
