Can we agree to note the listing of accounts and financial statements? Agreed. As usual, the listing of accounts or financial statements will be published as part of our minutes.

We will move on to correspondence. As previously agreed, items that are not flagged for discussion in this meeting will be dealt with in accordance with the proposed actions that have been circulated and decisions taken by the committee in relation to correspondence or in accordance with the minutes of the committee's meetings and published on the committee's webpage.

The items flagged for discussion are in category B: correspondence from Accounting Officers and-or Ministers. They are follow-up to meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts. The first is No. R2378B. This is from Mr. Francis O'Donnell, CEO of Inland Fisheries Ireland. It is dated 9 February 2024. It is a request regarding an item of correspondence from an individual which was discussed at a meeting on 25 January. IFI is seeking sight of this correspondence. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. It is also proposed that rather than providing the correspondence from the individual, a summary of the issues raised in the correspondence will be provided to Inland Fisheries Ireland. Is that agreed? Agreed. It will, therefore, not get the correspondence but it will get a summary of it.

The next item of correspondence is No. R2384B from Mr. Graham Doyle, Secretary General at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. It is dated 9 February 2024 and provides follow-up information that we requested at a meeting on 14 December 2023. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputy Catherine Murphy flagged that she wanted to mention something to do with No. R2384B.
