We will ask that we have it within ten days, such that we have it in advance of the next meeting. The next item of correspondence is No. 829C, dated 19 October 2017, informing us of the motion passed by the Oireachtas on Deputy Pat Deering's membership of the committee. We have already welcomed Deputy Deering.

Correspondence item No. 831C, dated 17 October 2017, is from Ms Jennifer D’Arcy, chairperson of Louth and Meath Education and Training Board, providing a note as requested by the committee in relation to the 2015 and 2016 financial accounts, which have not yet been completed, although I understand progress is being made on this matter. I propose that we write to the ETB stating it is our expectation that the 2017 accounts will be completed within six months of the end of 2017. Does the Comptroller and Auditor General have any comment to make on this? Does he agree with it?
