Given the Minister has not answered any of those questions, my last question is this. His predecessors would come into this committee four times a year for quarterly updates on the implementation of the programme for government. The Minister has been in office for nine months and the committee has written to him several times. This is the first time he has come in for this purpose, and it is six months since he has been to this committee. I have a very simple question. Will he give us a firm commitment that he will come in, as did Deputies Eoghan Murphy and Coveney as Ministers, for quarterly updates where all members get to ask questions and go through the detail of the programme for Government implementation, as he and I had the opportunity to do under the previous Ministers?
