Yes, it is with regard to bringing them under the remit of the Comptroller and Auditor General. There is the local government auditor and other entities.

On 9 November, it is proposed that we meet with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland and the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications to discuss chapter 8 of the report of the accounts of the public services on the performance of certain residential retrofit schemes.

On 16 November, it is proposed that we engage with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform on its appropriation accounts for 2022, chapter 5 of the report of the accounts of the public services and the format and content of the appropriation accounts.

On 23 November, it is proposed that we meet again with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to examine chapter 11 on the utilisation of the land aggregation scheme.

On 30 November, it is proposed that we meet with the Department of Finance to discuss its 2022 appropriation accounts and the relevant chapters from the Comptroller and Auditor General's annual report. Generally speaking, we bring the Department of Finance and Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform before the committee in the latter part of the year after the budget, for obvious reasons. It is also because the Comptroller and Auditor General will have the audits done. Do members wish to comment on the work programme up to 30 November?

Are members happy with that? We will keep it under review. It is a work in progress, pardon the pun.
