I thank the Minister and his officials for assisting the committee with its consideration of the Revised Estimates and programmes. As some members have requested that further information be sent to the committee, I propose we await that information before we complete our consideration of the Revised Estimates and before sending a message to that effect to the Clerk of the Dáil in accordance with Standing Order 87. Is that agreed? Agreed. The committee clerk will circulate the information when received and we will reschedule a meeting to complete the task.
