No, we have received nothing from the Department of Education and Skills since the meeting last week. We will follow up closely on that to ensure we get answers to all our questions.

The next item is No. 935B from the Secretary General of the Department of Health, providing an information note on the working group established by the Minister to investigate the relationship between the voluntary and State sector. A review group has been established. Somebody asked for a briefing note on that and the information is available to whoever is interested in it.

The next item is No. 937B, correspondence dated 20 November 2017 from Dr. Graham Love, CEO of the Higher Education Authority, providing a response to matters raised by the committee in relation to a president's retirement event at Cork Institute of Technology. The HEA is following up the matter. It is currently seeking a full explanation. That is a holding reply for the moment. That was discussed at length at the previous meeting.
