I propose we do that. EirGrid was excluded from the freedom of information legislation and I had to bring forward a Private Members' Bill on that. Just before the Easter break, I had to publish Private Members' legislation to bring EirGrid under the remit of the ombudsman. Now, I hear that EirGrid is not even under the remit of the committee.

All it does is spend public money. I understand it is a policy issue but I have a significant concern. I ask the committee to write to the Minister to ask him to review the legislation to bring EirGrid within the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts.
