Chairman:

I thank the Minister, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor, and her officials for attending today's meeting of the joint committee. I ask the Minister that any information sought be forwarded to the members who looked for it. Given the engagement to date on the review of performance measures used by the Department, could we agree that there will be further engagement between Department officials and officials of the Houses of the Oireachtas on any potential change to performance measures and that the result of this engagement be reported to the committee? I also ask the Department to engage with Oireachtas officials on this as well as members of the committee. Is that okay?
