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

The first business is the minutes of our meeting of 22 February 2024, which have been circulated to members. Do members wish to raise any matters in relation to the minutes? No. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's web page.

We will now move on to accounts and financial statements. Ten sets of accounts and financial statements were laid before the Houses between 19 and 23 February 2024. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, to address them before opening the floor to members.
