The remainder of the list are all clear audits. We will deal with Dublin Docklands Development Authority later. All these accounts are to be noted.

The next item is the committee's work programme which is shown on the screen. The HSE will appear before the committee next week. On 16 April the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources will attend the committee to discuss the Bytel report, the cross-Border broadband initiative which was the reason for our visit to Stormont some weeks ago. Is the work programme agreed? Agreed.

I refer to the committee's hearing with Údarás na Gaeltachta on the sale of the seaweed. Some issues were raised in a media report on 21 March. With the agreement of members I will ask the clerk to the committee to look at the transcript of that meeting and what is now being reported on in the media, in order to determine that the information we were given was true and accurate and that it does not reflect any discrepancies between the views now being expressed in the media and what was said at the meeting. I will ask the clerk to carry out that short exercise.
