Here we go again. It is an issue we will have to come back to. We will write to NUI Maynooth on that issue.

The next item is the work programme. Today, we have the HSE and the Department of Health, and next week we have the NTMA financial statements. I want to get the agreement of the committee on the scheduling of the meeting next week. A big aspect of NTMA activity is the State Claims Agency. I ask the secretariat to arrange the timing for the meeting. I propose we deal with the other part of the NTMA business, that is, the national debt, the National Development Finance Agency, prize bonds accounts and those types of issues, in the first half of the meeting, and keep the issue of the State Claims Agency until the second half of the meeting. It will still be the one meeting but I do not want to have one question on the prize bonds, the next on the State Claims Agency and the next on the national debt. We will hold the State Claims Agency questions until the latter half of the meeting. The chief executive of the NTMA will be here throughout. It is just to make the meeting run a bit more logically. We will run the meeting in two halves and we will keep the State Claims Agency issue separate.

On 11 July, we will deal with the appropriation accounts for the Houses of the Oireachtas. We will then deal with matters in regard to the IBRC liquidation. With regard to outstanding matters in the work programme, we can take the Irish Prison Service off that as we have dealt with it and we will also deal with it in our periodic report. We have also dealt with the issue of the OPW meeting with a former valuer. We will see next week how complete we are in terms of our work programme.
