We resume in public session to formally agree the 2013 decisions.

With regard to COM (2013) 18, the committee shall write to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to request them to take into consideration the committee's views and observations and to keep us updated on the proposals. Is that agreed? Agreed.

In respect of the fourth railway package, which is the subject of COM (2013) 26, COM (2013) 27, COM (2013) 28, COM (2013) 29, COM (2013) 30 and COM (2013) 31, I propose we write to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and request it to take into consideration the committee's view and observations and keep us updated on the proposals. Is that agreed? Agreed.

As there is no other business, the joint committee will adjourn until 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 27 March when the GAA, the FAI and the IRFU will come before us.
