The public business before the committee this afternoon is as follows: minutes of the meeting of 13 June; accounts and financial statements; correspondence; consideration of the draft committee programme; and any other business. The minutes of the meeting of 13 June 2024 have been circulated. Do members wish to raise any matters? No. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, they will be published on the committee's webpage.

Two sets of accounts and financial statements were laid between 10 and 14 June. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, to address these before opening discussion to the floor.
