I ask that the witnesses come back with a note on those branch offices, the services and the CWO. I ask them to send on a note on the difference between a branch office and an Intreo office and their services as well. It would be useful just for our own heads.
We have concluded questions. I thank the witnesses and staff at the Department of Social Protection and the Department of public expenditure for their work preparing for today’s meeting and the information supplied. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General, Seamus McCarthy, Ronan McCabe and Catherine for their assistance and the help they have provided the committee.
Is it agreed that the clerk to the committee will seek any follow-up information and carry out any agreed actions arising from the meeting? Agreed. Is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statement and the briefings provided for today’s meeting? Agreed. I will suspend the meeting until 1.30 p.m., when we will resume in public session to address correspondence and any other business.
