Absolutely. The Deputy's concerns are well aired and grounded. We as a committee can do our job which is to scrutinise, make recommendations and issue reports and members can table amendments as, indeed, can the Minister, after our discussion. I understand the Business Committee is discussing the scheduling requirements for next week and it is intended that this will be on the schedule next week. As I say, it has not been published yet. I am not in the Department and I do not know its inner workings. I know that Mr. Kelleher is a busy man and he may be even busier this afternoon. I appreciate the concerns. As far as we can, the matter has been addressed for now.

Does Deputy Pringle want to put some points to the witnesses?
