We will inform him of our decision. That concludes our consideration of correspondence.

Moving on to our work programme, at our next meeting on 22 June, we will engage with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. I propose that we also add chapter 4 of the Report on the Accounts of the Public Services 2021 on the re-allocation of Voted funding to the agenda as this makes reference to several virements made by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media during the 2021 financial year. Members will remember that this subject came up some time back. The committee has previously included this chapter for engagements with the Revenue Commissioners; the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the Department of Health; and the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform. Is that agreed? Agreed. On 29 June, we will engage with the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board. On 6 July, we are planning to engage with Inland Fisheries Ireland subject to its 2021 financial statements being available.We are planning to engage with Uisce Éireann for our last meeting before the summer recess on 13 July pending a decision from the Committee on Remit Oversight. Does any member wish to raise any matters regarding the work programme or the discussion document? I remind members to flag any areas of interest they wish to raise with any of the witnesses for our upcoming meetings with the committee secretariat. That concludes our consideration of the work programme for today.

The last item on the public agenda for today is any other business. Do members wish to raise any other matters? We will now go into private session before adjourning until 9.30 a.m. on Thursday, 22 June 2023 when we will engage with the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
