We could forward the letter to the Department and to Revenue, if that is necessary, and ask for a note on the matter. Following that, we will have to forward it to the new committee. My understanding is that when the work of this committee is interrupted by an election, the newly appointed committee can return to the work that was being done and continue from where the previous committee members left off, so that issues like the one the Deputy raised do not get lost in the transition. That is why the cases of Fannin and Cantwell, north Meath and the universities can be taken up again by a new committee. They are not lost because they will be recorded in the notes and minutes of this meeting. If the Deputy wishes, we can immediately write to the Departments concerned and ask for a response.
