That is all right. We will hold it over until January. The next category of correspondence relates to private individuals, and any other correspondence. There are three items we are waiting to hand over from the previous meeting and if we can, I would like us to deal with them today. They have been held over already twice. One is No. 1574 from Deputy Hourigan, dated 11 November, and No. 1577 from Deputy Carroll Mac Neill, dated 15 November, both of which have been held over since 24 November. We also have a related piece of correspondence from Deputy Carthy, dated 24 November. The items concern the Charities Regulator and the alleged operation of a body that is not registered as such. I understand that the same matter was raised at a matter of the previous Committee of Public Accounts in 2019. A reference is made to that in the correspondence. I ask Members to bear in mind the long-standing parliamentary practice that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the House, either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. At our meeting on 24 November we agreed to request the Charities Regulator to respond to the matters raised. I will open the meeting to the floor. Does Deputy Catherine Murphy or Deputy Carthy wish to speak?
