If we can formally agree that now, the clerk can write to those who have not been written to, and maybe inform those who have been written to that all of the board is being invited to come before the committee. That is probably the best way of dealing with the matter. Is it agreed that the clerk do that? Agreed.

Is No. 3B.6 in regard to how we sequence the meetings relevant to Professor Brennan's request agreed? Agreed.

No. 3B.7 is correspondence dated 22 May 2013 from Ms Clare McGrath, chairperson of the OPW, about information previously requested regarding cost of the provision of a suite of offices for a Minister of State in the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment in 2007. That is to be noted and published.

We have documents relating to today's committee meeting. No. 3C.1 is correspondence dated 22 May 2013 from Ms Clare McGrath, chairperson of the OPW, briefing papers and matters to be considered at the meeting on 23 May 2013. That is to be noted and published.

No. 3C.2 is correspondence received on 22 May 2013 from Miss Clare McGrath, chairperson of the OPW, opening statement. That is to be noted and published.

The next item is reports, statements and accounts received since our meeting of 16 May. Number 4.1 is the National Library of Ireland annual report 2011, clean audit opinion.

No. 5 is our work programme. It is now on the screen. It was agreed to schedule the Financial Regulator on 13 June, as discussed last week. This will mean that we will reschedule the Department of Social Protection to 11 July.

We will now meet Mr. Bradshaw, former chairperson of the DDDA on Wednesday, 26 June at 3 p.m. On that issue, the committee received correspondence from the DDDA yesterday evening and this will be circulated today. This correspondence will also be circulated to Mr. Bradshaw in connection with his forthcoming appearance, given his request which was agreed last week. That refers to our papers and we will make them available to Mr. Bradshaw. I ask members to note the date is Wednesday at 3 p.m. Will we meet on Thursday of that week?
