One of the Secretary Generals is due to appear before the Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach. That is fine.

We should not be in a position where the secretariat have to follow up on correspondence. If this committee has written to all these bodies, some of which are Departments, we have a right to expect we will be responded to. This adds to the workload for the secretariat. I find that unacceptable. We should not have to consider people who have not responded to us.
