Okay. However, in regard to the overall thrust of that meeting and the evidence given by the various individuals who came before us, he has not come back to us with the reply we requested. Therefore, in writing to the Secretary General on that, we will include the request to set down a timeframe in regard to the particular case Deputy Deasy has mentioned.

No. 3A.11 is correspondence dated 16 September 2015, received from Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú, Secretary General of the Department of Education and Skills. It is a follow-up to our meeting on 9 July 2015 and is to be noted and published. No. 3A.12 is correspondence dated 22 September 2015, received from the Comptroller and Auditor General. It is a follow-up from our meeting on 2 July 2015 regarding the amount of money collected by families who had availed of the Fair Deal scheme and it is to be noted and published. Deputy Perry raised this particular issue.

We move on now to individual correspondence. No. 3B.1 is correspondence dated 6 June 2015 from Mr. Gerard O’Leary, director of the Office of Environmental Enforcement, regarding a reply regarding correspondence from Mr. Philip Cantwell. This correspondence is to be noted and published and forwarded to Mr. Philip Cantwell. No. 3B.2 is correspondence dated 15 July 2015 from Councillor Kenneth O’Flynn regarding chairmanships of strategic policy councils. This is to be noted and forwarded to the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government for a note on the issues raised. This is a matter for the local authorities to deal with, but in sending on the correspondence I will ask them to provide us with a detailed response to the queries raised so that we can communicate that to Councillor Flynn.

No. 3B.3 is correspondence received from an anonymous source regarding the lack of governance and management at Institute of Technology Tallaght. This is to be noted and forwarded to the HEA for a note. That matter can be raised today, can it?
