Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I remind the committee that it talked an engagement with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in enough time to influence this year's appropriation accounts circular, the one for 2022. I think there were a number of things, specifically relating to the pay note in appropriation accounts, where suggestions were made as to things that could be looked at. In the engagement with the Accounting Officer when he was here, I think the Deputy asked for the Department to come back with proposals. It might be useful to engage earlier on, let us say in October, on that.
