We agree with that action.

The C list is next - correspondence from and related to private individuals and any other correspondence. The first one flagged is No. 296B. We have dealt with this already. It is correspondence from an individual dated 18 January 2021 providing further information regarding concerns over the use of public funds by the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland, SBCI. As we have already considered related matters, I propose that we note this correspondence and address this matter when the SBCI is before the committee. We can thrash it out then. He is actually a constituent of mine but if he is willing to come before the committee we can see the information he has. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Next is No. 304B, which is from an individual dated 20 January 2021 raising concerns with regard to NAMA and its adherence to statutory provisions. As I understand that the previous Committee of Public Accounts in the Thirty-second Dáil wrote to NAMA regarding this matter and forwarded NAMA's response to the committee, I propose to advise the correspondent accordingly. I also propose that we advise the correspondent that the committee cannot examine individual cases. Deputy Carthy had flagged this if he wishes to comment on it.
