John Brady (Wicklow, Sinn Fein)

Is it agreed to note the listing of accounts and financial statements? Agreed. The listing of accounts and financial statements will be published as part of our minutes.

We will now consider B items of correspondence, which have been received from Accounting Officers and Government bodies. No. R0322 is correspondence from the Secretary General of the Department of Health, dated 20 October 2025, providing information requested by the committee on the national maternity hospital. This had been flagged by Deputy Farrelly. I propose that we defer this item until next week's meeting. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. R0324 is correspondence from the Arts Council, NCI national development plan programme and climate action unit, Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, informing the committee on the delay in the laying of the Arts Council’s 2024 annual report. It was agreed to note and publish this item.

I will now move to the committee's work programme. Next week, on Thursday 13 November, the committee will meet with the Department of Transport.

Are there any other items members wish to raise at this point under any other business?
