That is good. It would be useful to the committee to have the list.

No. 5 is the work programme. Representatives of the Health Service Executive will appear today to discuss specific issues only. We will then have three meetings on education, one each with the Department of Education and Skills, Higher Education Authority and universities of Limerick, Cork and Galway. On Thursday, 6 April, we will meet representatives of other third level institutions. These have yet to be confirmed but they will be institutes of technology. There is a gap on 13 April which we have not filled. The committee can consider one of three different issues on that date, namely, direct provision, Bord na gCon or the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, to be published today, on the redress scheme. As this report, which is a look-back on the entire scheme concluding with Caranua, will be published later, Mr. McCarthy cannot disclose its contents now.
