That is absolutely agreed. We will come back to this for an update at the next meeting.

The next item of correspondence, No. 885, dated 7 November, is from an individual enquiring about the cost of St. Francis Bridge in Kilkenny. It is proposed that we write to the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government for a response to the letter. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 886, dated 7 November, is from Mr. Mark O'Brien, chief executive of Louth and Meath Education and Training Board in response to recent correspondence. He states every effort will be made to produce the 2017 accounts by the end of March 2018. That is the sort of reply we want to receive. We want the boards to get their business done in a timely manner. We note that.

The next item of correspondence, No. 888, dated 8 November, is from NAMA and is replying to a query of the committee in regard to a hotel in Kinsale. I propose we forward the information to the individual who raised the matter with us. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 891, dated 8 November, is from Ms Marie Broderick, private secretary to the Acting Garda Commissioner, providing information, as requested by the committee, on the Charleton tribunal regarding the recruitment process and breakdown of the costs of the Charleton tribunal co-ordination unit. I suspect Deputy Alan Kelly has something to say.
