No. 4 is the work programme. Members have been circulated with a draft work programme discussion document, which is displayed on screen now. Next week, on 9 May we engage with the University of Limerick on the 2022 financial statements. We will be joined by the deputy president, who has been delegated the accountability function in the absence of the president and the chancellor. Representatives of the Higher Education Authority and the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science will also attend.

On 16 May, we are due to meet with representatives of the Department of Education-----
