It is good to hear that. We will note and publish that item of correspondence.

The final category of correspondence is category C which includes correspondence from private individuals and any other correspondence.

Item No. 1138C is correspondence received from an individual about St. Angela's College, Sligo. Item No. 1144C, correspondence received from Deputy Marc MacSharry, refers to this correspondence. The individual in question is calling for four things: first, that we critically review his latest correspondence; second, that we request cumulative officially reported expenditure on the subject of litigation in 2017; third, that we confirm that the Comptroller and Auditor General's branch, in all relevant years, namely, from 2007 to 2017, inclusive, tested under the money-laundering legislation, as applicable, in the case of St. Angela's College and, if not, that such testing be undertaken, as appropriate, this being a matter for Mr. McCarthy; and, fourth, that we recommend that an audit of corporate governance and management be undertaken by St. Angela's College Sligo Limited. Does the Comptroller and Auditor General have remarks to make? We are not encroaching on his work, just referring to correspondence received.
