The minutes of the meeting of 14 July have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed.
We will deal with correspondence received since our meeting on 14 July. On that date we received item No. 3.1, correspondence from P. A. Dorrian & Company Solicitors, Buncrana, County Donegal on behalf of Mr. Crumlish. The correspondence is to be noted. The previous correspondence was also noted and acknowledged. As this case is outside the remit of the Comptroller and Auditor General, we have no role in the matter.
Item No. 3.2 is correspondence received on 18 July from Mr. Kenneth Nolan, Government accounting section, Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, re the minute of the Minister for Finance on the first interim report of the 30th Committee of Public Accounts on the loss of fiduciary taxes arising from the abuse of limited liability. This correspondence is to be noted and published.
Item No. 3.3 is correspondence we received on 20 July from Deputy Anne Ferris re Wicklow County Council. This correspondence is to be noted and published. While it is not primarily a matter for the committee, I propose that we forward the correspondence to the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government for his observations, as it advocates a change in the law. Does the Deputy wish to comment?
