The meeting is happening in early October. We will give them a few weeks after the meeting to give us a report of the meeting. It has not happened yet. We will note and publish that.

The next item is No. 2402 from Mr. John Uhlemann, Department of Finance, on the national finance accounts, copies of which have now been made available to us.

The next item, No. 2403, is from Mr. John O'Dwyer, deputy commissioner, Data Protection Commission. I dealt with that already. I also dealt with No. 2404. It relates to the Data Protection Commission's report.

The next item is No. 2405 from Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll, Secretary General, Department of Justice and Equality, dated 24 September 2019, relating to today’s meeting and the witness list. We note and publish this. Technically, Mr. O’Driscoll is the Accounting Officer for the Office of the Data Protection Commission. That is scheduled to change in the coming year.

He felt that since Ms Dixon is the commissioner directly responsible for the office that is most appropriate, she is the person we need rather than him. He has given the list of witnesses. Technically, he could be here but I think it is reasonable that we have Ms Helen Dixon and the relevant officials from her office and the Department of Justice and Equality. He is putting on the record why he is not here. That is accepted and published.

No. 2407B is from the Journal Office and is a report of the Committee of Selection, dated 11 July 2019, discharging Deputy Jonathan O’Brien from the committee. I apologise for the late notification of this to the committee. It appoints Deputy Imelda Munster in substitution for Deputy O’Brien. We will note and publish this a week after Deputy Munster has joined the committee, having welcomed her here last week. The paperwork is only coming through now so we will note and publish it.

There is one item of category C correspondence that we want to deal with. We are getting phone calls relating to the school transport-----
