I will allow Deputy Burke to come in afterwards. We must keep the meeting moving. I know it is an important question and Deputy Burke was right to raise it this morning - I heard him raise it. We need an answer to that. Can we agree and note the listing of accounts and financial statements? Agreed. As usual, the listing of accounts and statements will be published as part of the minutes.

Moving 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 that have been circulated, and decisions taken by the committee in relation to correspondence are recorded in the minutes of the committee’s meetings and published on the committee’s webpage.

We have 12 items of correspondence to consider this afternoon. The first category of correspondence under which members have flagged items for discussion is correspondence from Accounting Officers or Ministers or both, and follow-up correspondence to meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts. The first is No. R1943B from Dr. Kerstin Mey, president of the University of Limerick, dated 19 June, providing information requested by the committee arising from the meeting with University of Limerick on 18 May 2023. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputy Murphy and I flagged that for discussion.
