Do any other members wish to contribute? We will note and publish this correspondence and we will seek that extra information.

Next is No. 1348 C, from me, and this is a proposal to include an engagement with representatives of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, in our work programme. We will be deciding on that programme, so I just want to flag this proposal and I do not wish to open it for discussion now. It is a short and concise letter but it will be understood what I am asking for in it. No other items of correspondence have been flagged.

We move on to the work programme. Last week, we agreed that our first meeting in September would deal with correspondence and any other business of the committee that might accumulate over the summer recess. We have the item in respect of value for money. We also agreed to schedule an engagement with Horse Racing Ireland, HRI, to examine the 2020 financial statements the following week. Additionally, we also requested a representative of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to attend the meeting. To assist the secretariat in planning the meeting, do the members wish a representative of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, IHRB, to attend the meeting as well?
