No, this is the only issue that I have received correspondence about in my emails. We will write to the Department of Education and Skills for a response to the emails and the correspondence we have received.

We have received another item from an individual with whom we have dealt before. On this occasion, he writes to us under the heading: "Protected Disclosure: Section 10 to the PAC regarding internal competition processes to appoint head of internal audit and protected disclosures recipient in the Department of Social Protection". We are going to ask the legal people to advise us on this documentation before we consider it further.

There is another item, a possible protected disclosure, and we will ask the legal people to have a look at it during the week. The committee will come back to both next week. Neither is not listed on the correspondence so we will have to come back to both. We dealt with the individual on a previous occasion and we concluded that we could take no further action on the matter raised. There has been a further response and we must take advice on that. We will return to the matter next week. That is the end of the correspondence for today.

The next item is statements and accounts received since the last meeting. I do not believe we have any to record this week.

The final item on the agenda is our work programme. This should only take a minute. We will be going into private session at the end of this meeting in order to discuss the draft Garda report into issues relating to the Garda College in Templemore. I propose that we meet next Tuesday in private session to discuss the reports we have requested. I hope the education report will be nearly at a final stage by next week, possibly on Tuesday, and we can then move on to the Garda report. A draft of the latter will be presented to us in a few minutes. We will take time to consider that and discuss it. I will ask the secretariat to take members' comments on board and hopefully come back on Tuesday with an updated draft. We must get in to that in the next week or ten days in order that we might try to bring it to an interim conclusion. It will not be fully concluded because we will not get it all completed before the summer as there is information still to come. Is next Tuesday-----
