We will look at the matter at the end of September. We will put it down to be dealt with in correspondence at that stage.

The next category is correspondence the Committee of Public Accounts has issued to organisations subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General asking them to submit their draft accounts for audit within three months of year end. There were 18 bodies on our list and at our previous meeting we noted 13 replies. A further four have been received as follows. No. 2267B is correspondence, dated 17 June 2019, received from the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council. No. 2268B is correspondence, dated 13 June 2019, received from Mr. Mark Griffin, Secretary General of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, on the environment fund. No. 2269B is correspondence, dated 17 June 2019, received from Mr. Gabriel Cooney, chairperson, The Discovery Programme. No. 2270B is correspondence, dated 18 June 2019, received from Mr. Aidan Farrell, CEO, State Examinations Commission. Can we agree to note and publish these items of correspondence? Agreed.

At the previous meeting, we asked the Comptroller and Auditor General for an update on the submission accounts.
