Before we commence our main business I wish to deal with correspondence.

No. 2018/286 is an email from Mr. Donal Kissane, Gas Networks Ireland regarding decarbonising the transport sector. It is proposed to note this correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 2018/287 and 287A is an email and attachment from Ms Cáit Hayes regarding an interparliamentary committee meeting on the EU investing in its transport networks beyond 2020 on Wednesday, 20 June 2018. It is proposed to note this correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 2018/288 is an email from Mr. Brian Hayes, MEP regarding recent EU Commission proposals to amend the Motor Insurance Directive. It is proposed to consider this item in the course of the committee's scrutiny of this proposal which is not officially before us yet but I am advised it will be shortly. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 2018/289 is a press release from Freight Transport Association Ireland regarding logistics associate apprenticeship. It is proposed to note this correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 2018/290 is an email from Deputy Rock concerning the new core bus corridor routes and a request that the NTA should be invited to appear before the joint committee. I have forwarded that email to the Clerk to the Committee and he has agreed to invite them to appear before us. We hope that they will come before the joint committee next Wednesday, if members will agree to a special meeting.
