The committee has two previous periodic reports. There are detailed responses now from the Minister for Finance and for Public Expenditure and Reform. There is a lot of stuff for public debate in our correspondence. That meeting on health can be held over and the committee can deal with the backlog of correspondence from the summer.

That is great.

Staff in the secretariat have been working over the summer and I have told them to try to have some slots filled. I suggested they find a large State agency that has not been before the committee in a while and they have come up with Teagasc. Some members will be interested in Teagasc.

On Thursday, 11 October, we will have the Office of Public Works before the committee. The Comptroller and Auditor General's most recent report will be published at that stage, which means we will be able to raise information from the report with the Office of Public Works.

On Thursday, 18 October, we will have the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform before the committee for a discussion. We did not meet officials from the Department last year because we ran out of time. We will bring them in early in this session.

On 25 October, we will have a special meeting on housing. I ask members to start putting together specific points of discussion for that meeting. That is the provisional schedule.
