We will write and ask for an update on that. We will note and publish that item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. That concludes our consideration of correspondence this week.

A draft work programme has been circulated to member. There are two documents regarding the work programme, one of which is displayed on the screen. On 27 June, we are going to engage with the Road Safety Authority, RSA, in relation to the 2022 financial statements in the following areas of interest: road safety statistics and performance metrics, outcome from expenditure in the accounts, vehicle testing, driver testing, issuing driving licences and GDPR issues which arise in the context of providing accident information to local authorities. If there is anything else, please send it to the clerk.

On 4 July, we meet with Waterways Ireland in relation to the 2022 financial statements. It had a big announcement yesterday with the opening of another section of the Ulster Canal. On 11 July, we meet with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in relation to Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine - and chapter 10 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's annual report and estate management in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. When the Department comes in, I suggest we address the issue of the horse racing industry as well. That is important. We should at least flag it with the Department that these issues are going to come up, namely, expenditure on, and practices in, the industry, protecting the integrity of the horse racing industry and general horse welfare.
