Okay. We will seek that information. Are the accounts and financial statements agreed? Agreed. As usual, they will be published as part of our minutes.

The Comptroller and Auditor General has to leave us early today, so I thank Mr. McCarthy and his staff for attending the meeting and assisting us.

We will move on to correspondence. As previously agreed, items that were not flagged for discussion for this meeting will continue to be dealt with in accordance with the proposed actions which have been circulated. Decisions taken by the committee with regard to correspondence are recorded in the minutes of the committee and published on the committee's web page.

The first category of correspondence under which members have flagged items for discussion is correspondence from Accounting Officers and-or Ministers, and follow-up to committee meetings.

No. R1906 B is from Mr. John Callinan, Secretary General in the Department of the Taoiseach. It is dated 22 May 2023, and provides information requested by the committee regarding tribunals of inquiry and commissions of investigation. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputy Catherine Murphy has flagged this item.
