It appears that it will be the beginning of May before we conclude the report on broadband and housing, unless we want to meet in the first week of May. The latter is a non-sitting week. We could meet then if we have prepared a draft report and members want to come to Dublin to discuss it. However, members might not want to travel during a non-sitting week. I am not recommending that, I am just making the point. We will come back to that matter.

On 9 May, we will deal with An Garda Síochána. The Comptroller and Auditor General's report on overtime is relevant to that. On 16 May we will resume dealing with the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board's financial statements. We expect to have considered the PwC report in advance of that meeting. We will meet the Courts Service on 23 May and on 30 May we will meet with representatives of the Department of Finance to deal with a special report from the Comptroller and Auditor General on EU transactions. We will meet with the Department of Children and Youth Affairs on 13 June. These are provisional arrangements. The following week, the annual report of the National Treasury Management Agency, NTMA, will be published. That will deal with an awful lot of issues on behalf of the State. The HSE financial statements should be available in advance of 26 June. We will try to deal with those before we go break for the summer. After that, we have a scheduled meeting with the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission. We want to do that before the break as well. That body's annual report will be out around the end of June. It is just as well to have sight of its annual report before meeting with its representatives. I thought we might have done it earlier, but the annual report will be out at the end of June. The Secretary General of the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission will be at that meeting.

These are provisional items. We can come back and address others. That is an approximate programme which is subject to change. There are a couple of items to discuss in private session before we call our guests from the Department of Justice and Equality.
