Today we will meet officials from the Valuation Office and the Department of Social Protection.

No. 1 is the minutes of the meetings of 4 and 16 July. Are they agreed to? Agreed. We will reschedule the meeting we were due to have last week to after the summer recess.

No. 3A is correspondence from Accounting Officers and-or Ministers. Nos. 3A.1 to No. 3A.5, inclusive, deal with the Wicklow Enterprise Park and were deferred from the last meeting. We have discussed the matter with Deputy Simon Harris who is anxious that the correspondence be published. Is that agreed? Agreed.

No. 3A.6 is correspondence dated 1 July 2013 from Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú, Secretary General, Department of Education and Skills, regarding Waterford Institute of Technology and the Quigley report. Now that we have the report, we will arrange a meeting with Waterford Institute of Technology, the HEA and the Department as early as we can after we resume in September.
