Absolutely. That will complete our discussion on this matter.

No. 2555 is from an individual, dated 11 November, requesting that the committee make inquiries regarding personal information collected for the public services card. We will write to the Department to ask for details on this. The correspondence states that there is information on debt levels, SAFE levels, quarantine, welfare profile, and relationship collection. This person has obviously made some inquiries. We will ask the Department for a full response to the email we have received. We will note that but we will not publish it as it is from a private individual.

Finally, we will deal with financial statements and accounts received since our most recent meeting: Housing and Sustainable and Communities Agency, clear audit opinion but non-compliant procurement - a standard letter will issue to the agency on the non-compliant procurement; Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, clear audit opinion; Broadcasting Fund, clear audit opinion; Waterways Ireland, a North-South body, clear audit opinion; export guarantee account - inactive, clear audit opinion; National Library of Ireland, clear audit opinion; and motor tax account, which is a new account, clear audit opinion. Will the Comptroller and Auditor General explain what a new account means?
