I will ask the clerk to ensure members are aware of the response from the HSBC and the extent of the information the delegate will have, so that we are clear in regard to what information can be gleaned through questions.

In regard to the HSE, we should get representatives in as soon as possible. If that is to happen next week, we will sit on Tuesday. The matter is in the public domain and because the HSE caused it to happen, we need an explanation. They will be told we are available to meet them on Tuesday or Wednesday.

We will now deal with the first part of today's meeting at which we will have presentations from the Small Firms Association and the Irish Schools Arts Supply Federation. Then at noon, we will consider the Comptroller and Auditor General's Appropriation Accounts 2013 for Vote 11 - the Office of the Minister of Public Expenditure and Reform, Vote 12 - superannuation and retirement allowances, Vote 18 - shared services, and then the Comptroller and Auditor General' special report on the effectiveness of audit committees in State bodies, and then issues with procurement.
