Two separate meetings. We will come back to that. Next week we have that, 10 February. The timeline is 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and the afternoon session with the Department. The agenda for the engagement with the Department is the 2020 appropriation accounts and from the Comptroller and Auditor General is the 2020 report on the Accounts of Public Services, Chapter 3 on the central Government funding for local authorities and Chapter 8 on the oversight of the housing assistance payment, HAP. The Department has also been advised that the committee may wish to discuss the cost rental expenditure, expenditure on women's refuges and EU findings on the Derrybrien windfarm. Briefings will be requested on these areas.

In regard to the engagement with the Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, and Home Building Finance Ireland please let the clerk know if there are any particular areas of concern or interest to be brought up in regard to their financial statements. This will allow a briefing to be requested in advance of the meeting and allow the witnesses to prepare for the engagement in those areas on the day. Availability has been confirmed for all these engagements. Is it agreed to proceed as outlined? Agreed. Thank you. That will allow the secretariat to make the necessary arrangements and avoid any scheduling difficulties. I call Deputy Munster.
