The clerk informs me that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has said that the meeting has been arranged. I want to express some concern about that. At that meeting it was stated quite clearly that we wanted the meeting to be held as soon as possible. It was also asked that the members here be informed of that meeting. From the papers I have received to date, I received no indication that the meeting had been arranged or would be arranged, or a date for the meeting, bar what the clerk has informed us. We should request that the meeting be held as quickly as possible.
