The draft minutes of the meeting of 20 June have been circulated. Are they agreed for signature? Agreed.
Senator O'Reilly's report on the youth guarantee, which we agreed to launch, will be launched at 10 a.m. on Thursday in the audio-visual room and I would encourage all members to attend to support Senator O'Reilly in the launch of our excellent report.

Agreed. Will we be allowed ask questions and create a rumble in the media and so on?

Yes. We would encourage members to ensure they are constructive in nature.

Of course they will be allowed. It will be at 10 o'clock this Thursday morning. I have circulated to members a list of correspondence which refers to correspondence from the International Fund for Ireland's new strategic framework for action. We have a statutory instrument regarding the transport of dangerous goods by rail. We have an update on the European Ombudsman overview of 2012, and an invitation to a strategic forum in September. None of those items requires our immediate attention and therefore I propose to note the correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. If there is no other business colleagues wish to raise, I will adjourn the meeting until Thursday, 11 July.
