We are joined today by Mr. Andy Harkness from the Comptroller and Auditor General's office. He is accompanied by Jennifer O'Halloran. Apologies have been received from Deputies Bobby Aylward and Alan Farrell. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald sends her apologies for the morning session; she will probably be here for the afternoon session.

The first item on the agenda is the minutes of meetings. There is a bit of catching up here from 9 November, 16 November and 23 November. Are they agreed? Agreed. With regard to matters arising from those minutes, most items have been covered and will come up in the course of correspondence so there is nothing specific arising.
