I thank Deputy McAuliffe for that correction, which is noted.

The first item of business is the minutes of our meeting of 19 May. These have been circulated to members. Do members wish to raise any matters in respect of the minutes? If not, are they agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee’s web page.

On accounts and financial statements, no accounts were presented to the Oireachtas Library between 16 and 20 May 2022. We will return to this item at our next meeting.

Moving to correspondence, as previously agreed, items that were not flagged for discussion for this meeting will continue to be dealt with in accordance with the proposed actions that have been circulated, and decisions taken by the committee in relation to correspondence are recorded in the minutes of the committee’s meetings and published on the committee’s web page.

The first category of correspondence under which members have flagged items for discussion is category B, correspondence from Accounting Officers and-or Ministers and follow-up to committee meetings. No. 1230 B is from Ms Helen Hall, chief executive, Policing Authority, dated 5 May 2022, providing information requested by the committee arising from our meeting with the Policing Authority on 7 April 2022. At our meeting last week, we agreed to note and publish this correspondence and to hold it over to today. No. 1251 C is from Deputy Catherine Murphy, dated 19 May 2022, and is a related media article. Deputies Catherine Murphy and Carthy flagged this for discussion.
