I thank the witnesses from SEAI and the two principal officers from the Department for attending and preparing the information. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for attending and assisting the committee today and, indeed, the secretariat as well.

Is it agreed to request the clerk to the committee to seek any follow-up information and carry out any agreed actions arising from the meeting? Agreed. Is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statements and the briefings provided for us today? Agreed.

The committee will suspend now and meet again at 1.30 p.m. when we resume in public session to consider correspondence and any other business of the committee.
