The work programme is now on the screen. A number of meetings have been added to the programme. As part of the work programme we will deal with the further examination of the Rehab Group. Rehab came before us on one occasion and we have arranged for it to come before the committee again. We have set out the individuals with whom we would like to discuss matters – Angela Kerins, Mr. Flannery, the remuneration committee, the chairman of the board and the director of finance. I note the pending retirement of Angela Kerins. I suggest to members that it does not affect the matter we are dealing with and that we would expect both Ms Kerins, Mr. Flannery and the others who received individual notices to attend our meeting on 10 April to be present. We will continue with the agenda that has been set by the committee and with our investigation into this matter.

As Deputy Fleming said, we have agreed to write to the other section 39 organisations that are in receipt of more than €5 million. It is not that we are centring our attention on one particular organisation. We have dealt with section 38 organisations and we await the receipt of some reports. We will finish our work in that regard but we have every intention of having a number of hearings on section 39 organisations. At the previous meeting we agreed on which section 39 organisations to invite before the committee. I see nothing different in terms of our work on 10 April.
