I thank Deputy McGuinness. That is what we were elected to do. We have been notified that Deputies Rabbitte, Whitmore, Costello, Barry and Sherlock will substitute for their party colleagues today. Are the minutes from 16 and 18 June agreed? Agreed.

We have received 12 items of correspondence, which I will take as noted. Members will also have received written submissions for today's meeting. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Following the meeting of the committee's working group last Friday, a draft programme to the end of July will have been circulated to members. Our proposals for next week are with the Business Committee and we will have to look at alternative arrangements if the Chamber is no longer available to us. We will do that at next Friday's meeting. Is that agreed?
