I would be happy if the Deputy could give us a proposal in that regard. The meeting happened because I was trying to support the views of members of the committee, as expressed to me. The visit to Cork had been cancelled and we wanted to do something productive. I am delighted the Deputy has raised this issue and I am very happy for it to be included in the work programme. I am very happy to hear of correspondence or proposals from members, as it is what we are here to consider. In my time as Chairman we have not refused to do anything suggested by a member. Deputy Catherine Murphy can make her suggestions and we can ensure the committee will take full and proper notice of them.

The next item is an email, dated 19 November 2018, received from Ms Jillian Harpur, Embassy of France, concerning an invitation to attend a breakfast meeting on 23 November in the Gibson Hotel with a number of French locally elected officials, Members of the French Parliament and transport officials from the French Ministry of Transport. A copy of the email was circulated last week and it is proposed to note the correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed?
