While we have an idea of the problem, we do not yet have a solution. We will hold over the issue. We are all agreed, however, that the committee cannot be expected to deal with the latest crisis every three months. That is no way to run a country. We will return to the issue when further information is received.

No. 42B is correspondence received from the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General following up on a number of matters raised at the meeting of 7 July. It includes briefing notes on the national debt, public private partnerships, which were dealt with previously, HSE procurement and incomes on rates from fisheries. We will deal shortly with the Government debt issue in our discussion with the National Treasury Management Agency. As regards the briefing notes on public private partnerships, a report was done on this issue a couple of years ago and is available.
