There has been so much talk about the number of Garda accounts. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with the amount of accounts, but if some are dormant and tidying up is required then well and good. We will write back to An Garda Síochána for details, to ask it to review the accounts and decide if they are all necessary and, if not, to close them down. We are not going to examine the 130 bank accounts. However, it seems like a large number of accounts on the face of it. That is all I would say. We will ask for clarification, and if it can be rationalised that is all well and good.

No. 751B dated end of August comes from the Department of Health, enclosing copy of correspondence sent to an individual who raised a number of matters relating to the e-health strategy, principally with the committee, on 13 July 2017. Can we note and publish this correspondence? That is agreed.

We have finished all of the correspondence from the Accounting Officers of public bodies and Ministers for now. We are going on to the correspondence from individuals.

No. 500C is an item held over from the previous meeting.
