We will have them before the meeting. That concludes that item of correspondence, and I trust everybody is happy with that.

No. 2018/365 is an email I received concerning the Airport Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill which I circulated to the committee members. A second email was received from another gentleman expressing his views on it, which was circulated to the members. A third email was received from another gentleman, Mr. Eddie O'Keeffe. For the purposes of clarity, the names of the three people who wrote to me are Ms Ciara O'Reilly, Mr. Conor O'Reilly and Mr. Eddie O'Keeffe, and those emails were circulated to the members. It is proposed to consider those items when we come to deal with Committee Stage of that Bill. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 2018/368 a/b/c/d is an email received from the Minister, Deputy Shane Ross in which four documents are attached regarding the briefings given by Department officials concerning the Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018. It is proposed to note that item. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 2018/369 a/b, (a) is an email received from Mr. Jim Kelly, dated 30 November 2018, concerning MetroLink in which an alternative proposal is attached. It is proposed to consider this item in the context of the committee’s 2019 work programme. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 2018/370 a/b, (a) is an email received from Mr. Oisín Kelly, on behalf of Ruth Coppinger TD, dated 4 December 2018, requesting a meeting of the joint committee to consider Bus Éireann routes, starting with routes 101, 101x and 133, and that trade union representatives would be invited. As Deputy Coppinger is not here, I propose we note that correspondence.

No. 2018/371 is an email from Deputy Imelda Munster concerning objections to the select committee. We referred to that. That will not be happening.
