Agreed.

The next potential engagement is with the Housing Agency and the Approved Housing Bodies Regulatory Authority, to examine their respective financial statements and Chapter 7 from the Comptroller and Auditor General's 2021 report, which concerns the Housing Agency’s revolving acquisition fund. Following naturally from that, it is proposed that we would hold an engagement with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to examine its Vote, and the following two chapters from the Comptroller and Auditor General's 2021 report: Chapter 6 - Central Government funding of local authorities; and Chapter 4 - Re-allocation of voted funds. Given that we propose to postpone the meeting with An Bord Pleanála, it might be possible to bring that engagement forward by a week. We could slot that in for 19 January.
