The Deputy will get that correspondence tomorrow. If Deputies want anything else before the meeting, further correspondence can go out to alert them to provide that information in advance.

The next item is report, statements and accounts received since the last meeting. It is a short list today. The Heritage Council received a clear audit opinion, but there is a remark that it did not carry out a review on the effectiveness of systems of internal control in 2015. The Environment Fund received a clear audit opinion and has €46 million turnover. The Travellers Protection Fund, Travel Agents and Tour Operators Bond Accounts received a clear audit opinion but in 2015 it appears that only €10,000 went through the accounts. Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General can tell us about that.
