We will get the full list. We will note and publish the correspondence.

No. 1502 is correspondence received from the Department of Rural and Community Development with a date at the end of July. It concerns a statutory review of the Dormant Accounts Fund, an issue on which we made recommendations. It is an internal review the Department carried out. It was completed in July and covers the general policy in the years 2013 to 2016 and 2017 to 2019. We will note and publish the correspondence in order that anybody who has not seen the document will see it on our website. On page 47 there is a summary of the 15 recommendations made in the review. I will not read all of them. We have completed our review of the Dormant Accounts Fund. There will be a follow-through. We will receive the minutes from the Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform concerning our periodic report. It will make for interesting reading because it was one of the poorest areas in terms of the proper management of grant funding.
