The public business before us this afternoon is as follows: minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, work programme and any other business.

The first item is the minutes of our meeting of 1 February 2024, which have been circulated to Members. Do Members wish to raise any matters relating to the minutes? Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee’s webpage.

Five sets of accounts and financial statements have been laid between 29 January and 2 February 2024. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, to address them before opening the floor to members.
