I, too, am agreeable. We will hold it until the January meeting. It is detailed correspondence. Waiting until January will give members time to examine it and raise any issues they have with it.

The next item is our work programme. On 25 November, we agreed we would agree to the work programme for early in the new year. The updated schedule has been circulated to members. On 20 January, we will engage with RTÉ and representatives of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media - that is some Department - which provides RTÉ with State funding. The secretariat will work to schedule an engagement with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, for 27 January, and on 3 February, we plan to engage with the National Transport Authority, NTA. We will also invite representatives from the Department of Transport to attend those meetings. Members have requested that those meetings would run one after the other because of the close relationship between the bodies. On 10 November, we planned to engage with the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications and National Broadband Ireland to examine expenditure on the national broadband plan. We will continue to revisit the work programme each week. Do members wish to raise any matters relating to the work programme?
