Exactly. We want the details as well of the taking-in-charge of local estates. Funding for that is mentioned and we want the figure for the allocation by each local authority in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The fund has ceased but let us get the figures clarified.

There is some other information. Members can read the work programme and list two or three topics they want included in the briefing note in future. That might help us as well. We will hold over that correspondence until we get additional information and then we will have a fuller discussion on it at that stage. We will note and publish it but we will hold over a discussion on it. We will not keep the document under wraps.

No. 1210B is correspondence from Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú, Secretary General, Department of Education and Skills, dated 29 March 2018, in relation to the meeting of the committee on 22 March 2018. Mr. O Foghlú believes that his treatment by Deputy MacSharry at the meeting was unfair and it was suggested that Mr. Ó Foghlú had not honoured a commitment in 2014 to revert to the committee on matters relating CIT discussed at a meeting in May 2014. No. 1127, dated 12 April 2018, is also correspondence from Mr. Ó Foghlú, which includes a copy of the letter sent to the committee in 2014 in which he addresses the matters relating to CIT. Mr. Ó Foghlú asks the Deputy to acknowledge that his remarks in relation to an alleged non-response by Mr. Ó Foghlú were not accurate and that the remarks about his attendance at a particular party were unwarranted. Does the Deputy wish to respond?
