Okay. There are no problems with that.
Finally, No. R1947C has not been flagged for discussion. However, due to an administrative oversight, no proposed action was included on the correspondence list. This item is further correspondence to the committee in relation to accommodation for applicants of international protection in Leixlip, County Kildare. Is it agreed to note and publish this item of correspondence? Agreed.
Previous correspondence on the matter was considered at the meeting of 25 May and it was agreed to advise the correspondent to write to the relevant joint committee. At the meeting of 15 June, further correspondence was considered and it was agreed to request that the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth provide details regarding what due diligence is undertaken in relation to potential providers of accommodation for applicants of international protection and what checks and balances are in place. It was also agreed to inform the correspondent of this decision. I propose we write to the correspondent to reiterate that the committee has written to the Department in relation to this matter. Is that agreed? Agreed. Does Deputy Catherine Murphy want to make a brief comment?
