The third item on the agenda is committee correspondence, of which there is a large volume. I will endeavour to go through it as quickly as possible.
The first item is a letter dated 28 February from the Department of Finance providing further information on COM (2007) 52 which relates to the energy tax directive. It was requested by the committee and I propose that we note it. Is that agreed? Agreed.
No. 87, the legislative programme for the summer session 2008, has been circulated to members. I propose that we note the programme. Is that agreed? Agreed.
No. 88 is an acknowledgement from IFSRA of correspondence sent. I propose that we note the matter. Is that agreed? Agreed.
No. 89 is a letter from an individual regarding levies for maintenance paid to separated spouses, a matter held over from the 29th Dáil. I propose that we forward a copy of the letter to the Department of Finance for a response. Is that agreed? Agreed.
No. 90 is an invitation to attend the 2008 Brussels tax forum. The date of the conference has passed, so I propose that we note the invitation. Is that agreed? Agreed.
No. 91 is a letter from an individual to the office of the Information Commissioner, copied to the committee, regarding a request for a release of personnel data as opposed to personal information. I propose we note the letter. Is that agreed? Agreed.
No. 92 is a letter from the Irish Heart Foundation calling for a reduced VAT rate on defibrillators. I propose that we forward this letter to the Minister for Finance for his views.
