We will include that on our work programme and we will set a time that will be most beneficial to have them in. We will certainly want the NTMA to come in on that.

The next correspondence is No. 997B.

Councillor Fiona McLoughlin Healy from Kildare wrote to the committee regarding an extension to St. Conleth's College, Newbridge. The concerns raised by the councillor were discussed by the committee before Christmas. This documentation she submitted included several technical drawings and notes. It is proposed that we forward this documentation, which relates to a health and safety issue in respect of the construction, to the Department because we are not qualified to adjudicate in that matter. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 999B is correspondence from Dr. Graham Love, chief executive of the Higher Education Authority, updating the committee on the incorporation of NUI Galway and St. Angela's College, Sligo. I propose that we note and publish the correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Nos. 1001C and 1005C are correspondence from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on the fact that Ms Oonagh McPhillips is replacing Mr. Noel Waters as Accounting Officer of the Department of Justice and Equality. The National Shared Services Office also has a new Accounting Officer, Ms Hilary Murphy-Fagan, who is replacing Mr. Robert Watt. We will note and publish that.

No. 1002C is correspondence from Ms Susan Gilvarry, solicitor to the Cooke commission in respect of NAMA's Project Eagle. Ms Gilvarry requested specific committee documentation. As was previously agreed, the secretariat have provided the documentation requested in this correspondence. We are bringing this to the notice of committee members.
