The meeting is on Tuesday at 11 a.m. The deadline for observations is 3 p.m. on Monday. We will have the private meeting outside of our usual slot on Tuesday at 11 a.m. and the launch is scheduled for 1 p.m. in the audiovisual room next Wednesday, 16 July. Representatives of the bodies included in the report will be invited to attend alongside the press corps. The launch will be recorded on Oireachtas TV. We will not have a regular meeting next week at 3 p.m. The launch will be our event next week. We will be the first committee to issue a report in this new Dáil so it is good we are in a position to do so.

As this will effectively be our last public meeting before the recess, we will want to line up some people for the autumn schedule. I suggest we try to get the Minister, Deputy Chambers, in for the first meeting, if possible. The review of the national development plan will be published at the end of this month so it will not happen in this Dáil term. I suggest we should meet the Minister at our first meeting after the summer, if at all possible, before he is totally tied up with the budget.

The other people I suggest we meet - if anyone has other names to add, please do - are on the list we discussed weeks ago. They include the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, the Environmental Protection Agency, EirGrid and Bord Gáis. We have to check with EirGrid if it is commercial or semi-State. I am not sure of its exact status.
