Will we agree to amend the minutes to reflect that? Agreed.

There are three categories of correspondence, some of which is now a little dated.

No. 1301, which is from last week, is the Medical Council's opening statement. We did not formally note it. We will note and publish it.

Nos. 1319 and 1324 to 1326, inclusive, are the opening statements for yesterday's meeting from the Department of Education and Skills; the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI; the Abbey Theatre; and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.
