Yes. Correspondence dated 21 October 2015 has been received from the HSE which is a follow-up to our meeting on 23 April 2015, to be noted and published. I ask members to note the date of some of this correspondence from the HSE. The meetings were held on 23 April and just before the today's meeting and late yesterday we received this response from the HSE. That indicates there is a need to get Departments and agencies to respond to us within a given time period after the PAC hearing. I have not had a chance to look down through this correspondence but maybe members have. If anybody has an issue he or she can raise it today or it can be raised at our next meeting. This is an example of where improvements can be made and I have asked the clerk to the committee to notify the HSE of this matter.

The next item is individual correspondence. We have received correspondence from Mr. Mark Fitzsimons, secretary, Louth Environmental Group re waste of public moneys, to be noted and forwarded to the local government auditor for a note on the matters raised in this correspondence.

We have received correspondence from Mr. Harry Lawlor, HL Commodity Foods re units 6 and 7, Hospital Enterprise Centre, to be noted and published. I ask the clerk to review the file as this particular issues dates back and to bring the members up to date.
