Clerk to the Committee:

At our last meeting, we agreed that we would first of all send it to the Department of Finance just to check our figures. The Department is working on that and will get back to me tomorrow. The other issue that came up at that meeting was that the committee agreed that we would give a copy of the report and invite in a number of retired former officials. I am awaiting the updated draft of the report which will go to them tomorrow. I suppose we should give them an opportunity to have a say on that report if nothing else.
