Therefore, it predates 2014 and is now in the hands of An Garda Síochána which is where we are leaving it. The committee is not the Garda ombudsman.

The next item is No. 1160C, correspondence, dated 26 February 2018, received from Deputy Mary Lou McDonald, thanking the committee and the secretariat as she has stepped down from the committee. We shall note and publish the corresondence. We wrote to Deputies Mary Lou McDonald and Noel Rock to thank them for their contributions to the work of the committee.

The next item is No. 1162C, correspondence, dated 6 March 2018, received from Nursing Homes Ireland. It concerns the cost of care in HSE nursing homes. Mr. Tadhg Daly, chief executive officer, Nursing Homes Ireland, has indicated his availability to discuss the matter with the committee. We will note the correspondence and include the matter in our work programme.
