Before we make a decision on how to approach it, on the report on Waterford IT by the Comptroller and Auditor General, it would be of benefit if we had a sense of the status of the more substantial report to be compiled by the Higher Education Authority, HEA, and the Department. They were awaiting legal advice from the Attorney General in that regard. If the report is months or a year from completion, we could deal with the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General alone. However, if the substantial report is expected sooner, the committee could wait and address both reports on the same day. I asked about the status of that report at our most recent meeting. Was a response received in that regard?
