I thank Ms Buckley for that clarification.

We went through a great deal at this meeting. I thank the witnesses and staff from An Bord Pleanála and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage for the work involved in preparing for the meeting. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and Ms Henry for attending. Is it agreed that the clerk will seek follow-up information and carry out any actions agreed at the meeting? Agreed. Is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statements and briefings provided for today's meeting? Agreed.

I thank Ms Buckley. She has been in the job for a short time and is being thrown in at the deep end. I wish the board well in the large job of work it has to do across a number of areas. That will be challenging. The information we received today informs us in our work. I thank Ms Buckley for that. I also thank the Department.

We will suspend until 1.30 p.m., when we will discuss correspondence and any other business.
