We can do that, Deputy Fleming. Perhaps the clerk will write to the agency concerned.
No. 3A.4 is correspondence from Clare McGrath, chairperson of the OPW, re further information requested from the meeting on 30 January.
We will move on to individual correspondence. Correspondence dated 20 February 2014 from Mr. Harry Lawlor, Commodity Foods Limited, re Shannon Development units 6 and 7. This is a dispute between parties and while the Committee of Public Accounts cannot get directly involved, it is important that the actions of the State be reviewed. It appears that the complaint could be referred to the Ombudsman. We are going to check that. If the matter can be referred to the Ombudsman, can the committee do it?
