I suggest we include as an item, since there is an issue coming up in relation to it, that what was the FCA and is now the Reserve Defence Force also be included. There may be some questions around that. The strength of the Reserve is down to a fraction of what it used to be.

On 30 May, we will meet with the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board regarding its 2022 financial statements.

On 13 June, we will engage with the Office of Public Works on Vote 13 - OPW. The following areas of interest have been flagged: the national children's science museum project, flood relief schemes, and vacant properties in the OPW portfolio. If there is any other issue members want to include, they should send a request to the clerk and the secretariat. Sometimes, with the OPW in particular, there might be an issue in the area or region where members live that they want dealt with. An issue I will ask to be included is that of modular homes for Ukrainian refugees.

Last week, it was agreed to schedule a meeting with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine regarding the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, IHRB, and the Road Safety Authority for the remaining slots in June and July. The secretariat is in the process of finalising these dates. The IHRB has confirmed 20 June. The secretariat is in the process of finalising the other two dates.

Do members wish to comment on or add anything to the work programme? I take it that the work programme is agreed.

Moving to the last item on the public agenda, are there AOB items? I take it we are all right on that.

We will briefly resume in private session before adjourning until 9.30 a.m. on 2 May, when we will engage with the NTA.
