We will certainly return to all of those areas, including the DAA and the commission. We have a list of other bodies that members have flagged. We will come back to our work programme over the next number of weeks to ensure we have a continuous arrangement of meetings lined up right into early next year.

On the issue Deputy Geoghegan raised regarding the Peter McVerry Trust, because of the scheduling of the correspondence, we were dealing with correspondence from July up to August. We have not dealt with all of the correspondence. A letter did come in from the Peter McVerry Trust on 8 September. It will be circulated to members for next week's meeting. I am sure we will have a detailed conversation on it at that point. To confirm what the Deputy said and what has been said publicly, I will refer to one paragraph from the letter. It confirms that the Peter McVerry Trust is willing to attend and provide information to the Committee of Public Accounts on an agreed date once it has filed the 2023 audited financial statements with the CRO and all relevant regulatory bodies. It is currently expected to complete this process around the end of September 2025. The follow-on 2024 audit will commence as soon as the 2023 accounts have been finalised. I do not propose to read the full letter now but it concurs with the statements that have been made publicly. Once the letter has been circulated to members, they can read it in full but that is the gist of it. We will endeavour to get the trust in as soon as possible once the work on its end is completed, as it has laid out. Is that okay?
