Some of it does not seem to have related to disputes at all. It looks as if there are people from the particular firm effectively working with the board permanently and dealing with various issues on an ongoing basis. We will come back to that. That is agreed.

The next item is the current work programme. Members have a copy. We agreed to some of it at the last meeting. When we go into private session I want to talk about the presentation from Brian Keenan on corporation tax receipts. We will talk about that topic in private session in a moment, before the witnesses come in. We will hold that over. On the rest of the programme, there is a full meeting on the topic of public private partnerships, PPPs, alone on Thursday, 22 March. I suggest that we bring in the Department of Education and Skills, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the National Development Finance Agency, which manages these partnerships. It is a subsidiary of the National Treasury Management Agency, NTMA. There are some smaller PPPs under the remit of the Department of Justice and Equality and the odd other small project, but the two big users of PPPs are the Department of Education and Skills and Transport Infrastructure Ireland. We need a full meeting on PPPs. We will have to rearrange the other items for a later date.
