The proposal for an interim report was as passed in the Dáil but it is not prescriptive; it does not state it has to have all the answers. The report is scheduled for 28 April, which is Thursday. I suggest that if we had a meeting on Tuesday, and we will circulate some of the ideas put forward today, the structure in terms of how the committee will work for the period would be the basis of the report, not the recommendations or anything else. It will be just what we agreed on the way forward. That is the proposal. I suggest that the suggestions made today be disseminated by e-mail, particularly in terms of people members believe would be worth bringing before this committee, and that we meet again next Tuesday. I take the point that members would like to meet on a Tuesday morning, take a break and meet again in the afternoon and because of the short duration, that might be a worthwhile exercise. I also believe there is a clear consensus that we should have two meetings a week to do the job of work in hand.
