Okay. We will meet the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board on 16 June and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage on 23 June. On 30 June, we will meet the Department of Foreign Affairs to discuss passports, embassies and any other issues members wish to raise. On 7 July, we will have the Central Bank to discuss the insurance compensation scheme, credit unions and any other issues. I ask that we include the general issue of insurance and regulation of the insurance industry on the agenda for that meeting. Did we say An Bord Pleanála will be available on 14 July? That will bring us up to the summer recess - bucket and spade territory.

In terms of matters reported upon by the Comptroller and Auditor General, there are a number of outstanding matters for examination with the Department of Education. There is special report No. 112 on financial governance and reporting in education and training boards, as well as chapters on management of the schools estate and the purchase of sites for school provision. That is one option. We will have to put that back to autumn.

Separately, there is also an outstanding chapter from this year on the assessment and collection of insurance compensation fund levies. We have dealt with that.

There is also the issue of passports, which we have pencilled in for the final sitting before the recess.

Are members happy with the work programme between now and the summer recess? I take their silence as meaning that they are all very happy. Are there any other matters members wish to raise? That concludes the work programme.

Do members wish to raise any other matter? Everyone is happy. The meeting stands adjourned until 16 June, when we will engage with the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board at 9.30 a.m.
