The next item on the agenda is the work programme. Next week we will be dealing with the Department of the Taoiseach group of Votes. I propose we have one session to deal with Vote 1, President’s Establishment, and Vote 2, Department of the Taoiseach, another session to deal with Vote 4, Central Statistics Office, and a third session to deal with Vote 3, Office of the Attorney General, Vote 5, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and Vote 6, Office of the Chief State Solicitor. However, there may be an issue with the availability of the Accounting Officer for the Central Statistics Office due to him being abroad next week on Government business. We may have to re-arrange that session. The office said the deputy head could come in but I would prefer if the head came in. We can come back to the Central Statistics Office another day.

On 14 February, we have a meeting with broadband providers. On 21 February, we will meet the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board. On 28 February, we will be back dealing with housing. We will meet the Irish Council for Social Housing, the approved housing body interim regulatory committee and, in a separate session, the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government. We will also meet the chief executives of some local authorities.
