Our committee considers that funding. That aspect of its funding comes under the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts. That is why we can write to Irish Water directly. We will confirm which Department covers the communications regulator. It would be useful for us to have a briefing note. Somebody in the Oireachtas might get it out to us.

The next item is 610C, correspondence dated 19 June 2017 from the secretary to the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission regarding an increase in staff resources to support the Committee of Public Accounts. The clerk has been in touch with the Office of the Ceann Comhairle and a meeting with the Ceann Comhairle is still an option. There is a note on additional staff. We are being informed as to what is being done. The offer of a meeting was not stated specifically in the letter but it is available. We will have that meeting as soon as is practicable.
