The Minister is due to come in to report on that in three weeks’ time. We will copy that to him as well.

It is proposed to note correspondence No. 2019/423 a and b. The meeting has been scheduled for 8 May 2019. Is that agreed? Agreed. It is also proposed to note correspondence No. 2019/424 as that is also part of the meeting for 8 May. Is that agreed? Agreed.

It is proposed to note correspondence No. 2019/425 a to f, inclusive, in the context of our work programme and to schedule it as soon as possible. Is that agreed? Agreed.

It is proposed to note correspondence No. 2019/426 a to c, inclusive. Is that agreed? Agreed. It is an e-mail which I received from a number of people concerning a letter from Simon McNamara who is the UK and Ireland country manager of the International Air Transport Association. He is seeking a meeting with me as Chairman to discuss the Irish aviation industry and to look at possible ways of working together. I presume we will invite him in to the committee. We will schedule that in our work programme at the appropriate time. Is that agreed? Agreed.

It is proposed to note correspondence No. 2019/432 a and b. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Correspondence No. 2019/433 is an email from a member of the public who is concerned about the National Transport Authority and how it operates. I propose we forward the correspondence to the NTA. The matter is of particular concern. I note the representatives of the NTA are nodding in agreement.
