Yes, public procurement is fundamental to our role and it will be included in our work programme for the new year.

No. 209C (i) and (ii) is correspondence from Ms Mary Higgins, CEO of Caranua. The committee received a number of items of correspondence from individuals regarding the spending of moneys by Caranua. We will forward this information to these individuals. The Comptroller and Auditor General has also indicated that his office will be carrying out a report on the wider issues of the residential redress scheme. As I mentioned earlier, correspondence has also been received on this matter from the Secretary General of the Department of Education and Skills. We will deal in detail with this matter in the new year. Is the report being carried out by the Comptroller and Auditor General a special report?
