Okay, I will continue.

No. 2141C is from an individual, dated 29 April 2019, regarding recent commentary in the media on the rural Ireland action plan. Again, this matter is not within the remit of the committee and I propose we note the correspondence. Finally, No. 2143C is from an individual, dated 30 April 2019, regarding contractual arrangements relating to a tourism start-up project in Cork involving Cork City Council. I propose to advise the correspondent that city and county councils are not within the remit of this committee and he may wish to pursue the matter through the Local Authority Audit Service. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Moving on to statements and accounts received since the last meeting, there are four for review this week. The first is from the Irish Museum of Modern Art, IMMA, which received a clear audit opinion. We will note that. The second is from An Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, which also received a clear audit opinion, which we will note. The third is from the Heritage Council, with a clear audit opinion, apart from non-compliant procurement of €690,000.
