We have mentioned this before. I expect it will be a matter for the Department of the Taoiseach but we will ask the Minister to convey that message in any event.

The joint committee will now adjourn. After the break, the Minister will join us for a meeting of the select committee, unaccompanied by his officials. On both my behalf and that of committee members, I thank Ms Orla McBreen, Ms Cait Moran, Ms Maeve Collins, who is not here, Mr. Ruairí de Búrca, our official, Ms Emma McCarron, and others for keeping us updated with what are now daily briefings. We ask them to continue in the same vein insofar as they can because their work is very useful to us as public representatives.
