We are not allowed to meet on Tuesday afternoons because the Dáil is sitting. That is one of the components of Dáil reform. I see the sense in having it Tuesday afternoon but the rules of the House require us to avoid meetings when the Dáil is in plenary session. That forces us to have the meeting in the morning. However, as the Deputy will see from the work programme, that is the only Tuesday meeting schedule and there is only one Wednesday meeting on the list, which is the engagement with the deputy First Minister on 16 November. As I said, the latter has been deferred in order to facilitate the witness. Subsequent meetings are on Thursday, 17 November and Thursday, 24 November.
