Any member who wants an issue discussed as part of the process next Thursday should contact the secretariat directly in the coming days.

On one final urgent item of business, the OECD is carrying out its accounting framework assessment and officials will be in Ireland next week. They have asked to meet the Committee of Public Accounts to get our views on the move from cash-based accounting to accrual accounting. They will meet other committees and I note the timing is tight. They have meetings with officials from several Departments, the Comptroller and Auditor General and several other persons. It is proposed to meet them somewhere in the House next Wednesday morning. As Chairman, I propose that I will meet them. As there is not sufficient time for the committee to have a detailed discussion on the matter, I ask the members to allow me, as Chairman, and any other member to attend on behalf of the committee.
