Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

There will be solutions. If certain books are required, maybe for local history or local interest requirements, it is for the library to specify that these are the books it wants and then place the order, as opposed to somebody saying "Here is a selection of books that we offer." It is complex but it is amenable to common sense being applied also.

To get an overview on 2018, the committee may need to look back to some of the big organisations that were through in the earlier part of the year. The obvious one is the HSE where the financial statements would have been noted earlier. This is in case they are not in the trawl that is already being done. The committee may need to add those.
