Can we agree to note the financial statements? Agreed. As usual, the financial statements will be published as part of our minutes.

We will move on to correspondence. As previously agreed, items of correspondence that were not flagged for discussion for this meeting will continue to be dealt with in accordance with the proposed actions that have been circulated. Decisions taken by the committee in relation to correspondence are recorded in the minutes of the committee’s meetings and published on the our web page. The first category of correspondence is category B, correspondence from Accounting Officers and-or Ministers and follow-up to committee meetings. The first item in this category was held over from our last meeting and I propose to deal with it one way or the other. No. 1764B is from Mr. John Hogan, Secretary General of the Department of Finance, and is dated 27 February 2023. It provides information requested by the committee arising from the meeting with the Department on 17 November 2022. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputies Munster and Catherine Murphy had flagged this item for discussion. Deputy Munster is unavoidably absent, so I call Deputy Murphy.
