Do any members wish to comment on any of the statements? No. Can we agree to note the accounts and statements? Agreed. The accounts and financial statements will be published as part of our minutes. As usual, we will request explanation for any significant non-compliant procurements or delays in laying the accounts before the Houses of the Oireachtas.

As agreed, items of correspondence that were not flagged for discussion at this meeting will continue to be dealt with in accordance with the proposed actions that have been circulated. Decisions taken by the committee and relating to correspondence are recorded in the minutes of the committee's meetings and published on the committee's web page.

Several items of correspondence have been held over from our private meeting of 29 June for consideration at today's public meeting. The first category of correspondence under which members have flagged items for discussion is correspondence from Accounting Officers, Ministers, or both, and follow-up to meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts. The first No. R0665 from Mr. Denis Egan, chief executive of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, IHRB, dated 14 June and providing information requested by the committee relating to the cost and timeline for the installation of CCTV at racecourses. At our meeting of 29 June, we agreed to note and publish this item and hold it over for consideration at today's meeting. It is an issue I wish to raise. I note that Deputies Carthy and Catherine Murphy have also raised the matter. Does Deputy Carthy wish to come in on that matter?
