If it is helpful, we can do two things. First, we will have a meeting next week, at which right now we have no business to conduct. We could use it to address the work programme for the new year. The invitations about which the Deputy talked could then be issued. Would that meet the Deputy's wishes? The meeting is to be held next Wednesday morning, which I am advised by the clerk is the last sitting day of the Dáil before Christmas. We can agree to our work programme and then issue the invitations to whomsoever we wish. I do not believe anybody will disagree with what the Deputy has said. The invitations could be issued following the meeting next week. Would the Deputy be happy with that? It would cover all angles.
