The Comptroller and Auditor General mentioned there is a forthcoming chapter concerning Revenue, VAT and e-commerce. Maybe we can use that as an avenue to address it. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 4 is the work programme. At last week’s meeting, we agreed to proceed with the following engagements: on 13 October, we have the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, though bear in mind next week we have the HSE back again; on 20 October, we will meet the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform; and on 27 October, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

On 10 November, we will meet Greyhound Racing Ireland. On 17 November, we will meet the Department of Finance.

As Members will be aware, the Comptroller and Auditor General's 2021 report on the accounts of the public services will be published tomorrow. We might want to prioritise further areas for examination once we have sight of it. I am sure that there will be some issues in it that we have an interest in pursuing. In terms of our upcoming engagements, is it agreed that the secretariat include the relevant chapters from tomorrow's publication on the agendas for the respective meetings? Agreed. They will cover some of the issues that we wish to raise with a number of the bodies that will be appearing before us.

Are there other matters that members wish to raise regarding the work programme? Everyone is happy. This work programme brings us up to beyond the middle of November. As members will know from experience, when we try to plan five or six weeks ahead, we tend to be more successful in aligning bodies with the available dates and so on.

Is there any other business?
