Okay. No. 3B.3 is correspondence, dated 18 November 2013, from Mr. Michael Barrett, Lakeside Marina, Athlone, County Westmeath. The correspondence is to be noted and a copy will be forwarded to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government for a further note on the issues raised.

No. 3B.4 is correspondence, dated 20 November 2013, from Deputy Mary Lou McDonald regarding public procurement contracts. The correspondence is to be noted and we will seek a report from the relevant Departments. We can follow up with a specific meeting on procurement, if such is required. We had already agreed that we would hold a specific meeting on procurement or we certainly discussed doing so. We did not have the opportunity to discuss the matter on the previous occasion on which the Secretary General of the Department and the new procurement officer came before us. If we could arrange an early meeting on procurement, we could also use the occasion to deal with other outstanding issues. Is that agreed? Agreed.
