These are points that we have made previously and as I said, we should possibly make them to the Secretary General next week but they are noted.

The first draft of the bank stabilisation report will be circulated to members this evening. I suggest that we sit for some time in private session at the commencement of our meeting on 11 July to discuss that draft. If members have any amendments to make they should contact the clerk before next Thursday. If they want to raise any other issue around it they should raise it with the clerk.

Can we agree our agenda for our meeting on Thursday, 11 July 2013 at 10 a.m.? We will meet with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The agenda for the meeting will consist of the 2011 Annual Report and Appropriation Accounts of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Vote 7 - Superannuation and Retired Allowances; Vote 42 - Office of the Minister for Public Expenditure & Reform; Chapter 6 - Financial Commitments under Public Private Partnerships; Chapter 12 - Vote Accounting; and Chapter 13 - Procurement without a Competitive Process. Is that agreed? Agreed.

When the representatives of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform attend next week, Mr. Quinn, the official was responsible for procurement. Could we ask him to attend as well because they overlap in terms of procurement and public-private partnerships.
