We will ask the secretariat to include in the invite we send that we wish to discuss the entities that are providing accommodation and those providing services to people within that accommodation. I thank Deputy Catherine Murphy for that. That is agreed so we will move on to category C, correspondence from private individuals and any other correspondence.

There is only one item, No. 1488C, which is from an individual and dated 3 October 2022. It alleges that, during 2021 and before, unspecified section 38 and 39 organisations were insolvent. Section 38 and 39 organisations provide services for the HSE. Approximately €5.7 billion in health funding goes to these organisations, of which there are approximately 2,500. The correspondent says certain of these organisations were reported by the Department of Health to be “technically trading recklessly”. The correspondent offers copies of related reports. I will open the floor to members to see how we might proceed.

The correspondence does not give us a sense of which organisation is being talked about or any specific information. I believe that if the correspondent has information then we should request that information from that person because I am certainly interested in seeing it. Deputy Murphy is first because she flagged this item for discussion.
