It is an elastic term to me.

That concludes the questions. I want to thank the witnesses for joining us today, and the staff of the board and of the Department - Mr. Doyle and Ms Graham - for preparing for today's meeting. I thank the officials of An Bord Pleanála. I want to thank the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, Ms Henry and their staff for the work that they have done.

Is it agreed to request the clerk to follow up information and carry out any agreed actions that arise from meeting? Agreed.

Is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statements and briefs that have been provided for today's meeting? Agreed.

There is some follow-up information to be forwarded to the committee.

The meeting is suspended and we will resume in private session at 1.30 p.m. before moving into public session. There are a few issues to deal with. We will do that at 1.30 p.m. We will then move straight into public session.
