The RTÉ issue was mentioned at the time and we are dealing with that. Some of those items are in the report but we will have to see how we marry the two issues.

The following items are all to be confirmed. On 10 May, it is the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and there are several gaps in the schedule after that. Towards the end of June we will have the National Treasury Management Agency because its 2017 accounts should be out by then. On 28 June, we will have Revenue back to discuss chapters in the report of the Comptroller and General relating to the tax appeals office. Before we break up, we will have the HSE's financial statement for 2017. The HSE is normally very good and has this ready by May or June. On 12 July, we have financial reporting in the public service and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.

There are issues not on the list to which we have to come back. We might deal with the Courts Service through the Department of Justice and Equality. There was an issue about conflicts of interest regarding the fair deal scheme but the Competition and Consumer Protection Authority has dealt specifically with the correspondence that came to us on that. The ETBs, Cork Institute of Technology, third level spin-off companies and the Thorn report on consultants' pay are all tied into third level education. We have mentioned RTÉ, and the Office of Government Procurement is on our list.

That concludes our discussion on the work programme.

We have completed our public business for today. Our next public meeting will be held on Thursday, 22 February when we will continue our consideration of chapter 20 of the 2016 report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on corporation tax. We will be joined for the morning session by Dr. Brian Keegan from Chartered Accountants Ireland who will be followed by officials from the Revenue Commissioners and the Department of Finance in the afternoon.
