Okay. We will write to UCC and forward a copy to the Department of Education and Skills. We will come back to the issue.

The next item on the agenda is our work programme. There is a revised work programme on screen. It was updated sometime yesterday evening. There were earlier drafts during the course of the week. After the public session we will go into private session to be briefed on the issue of corporation tax by Dr. Brian Keegan from Chartered Accountants Ireland. We will also discuss the first document prepared by the secretariat for our periodic report to the end of December, a copy of which has been circulated. I stress it is not a draft document of the committee but a working document produced by the secretariat. Anyone who draws conclusions from it will be off the beaten track. The committee has yet to consider it. Next week we will meet Dr. Keegan in public session. In the afternoon we will also meet officials of the Revenue Commissioners and the Department of Finance to discuss the issue of corporation tax. That will probably bring our discussions on that specific topic to a conclusion. If we have time before next week's voting block, we might try to sign off on the periodic report. We will have a discussion on it today and will have an hour to consider it next week. We will try to sign off on it, with a view to launching it at the beginning of March.

On Thursday, 1 March, we will discuss the Galway art house cinema project, on which there is a specific chapter in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General. We will have officials of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht before the committee on that day.
