I concur. That is a question we have. The note highlights a number of issues for the legal office in RTÉ with the practices that were outlined at the meeting. It underlines the concerns of this committee and will help to inform. It is important we have it. While it has been stated publicly many times that it was legally privileged and came under solicitor-client confidentiality, this was a record of a meeting and what transpired at it. It is damning to say the least. We suspected that was the case from the beginning. It is important that we have accurate information on what took place at that meeting. That will help our work as we move along and try to get the report on RTÉ done.

The next business is flagged items of correspondence. Category B is correspondence from Accounting Officers and Ministers as a follow-up to previous meetings of this committee. No. R2212 from Ms Katherine Licken, Secretary General of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts Gaeltacht, Sports and Media, dated 6 November 2023, provides information we requested on large-scale sports infrastructure projects. It is proposed to note and publish this correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputy Catherine Murphy has a concern about this because of the criteria.
