It is not that we are prohibited from doing it. We need to take some legal advice. Can we agree the agenda for Thursday, 2 October which is the accounts of the Irish Sports Council? Agreed. Today we have to examine the three draft reports, one of which is on penalty points. We said at the last meeting that we would wait for the report on the current issues from the Garda Síochána but apparently it will not be available for some time. It is proposed to conclude our work on that issue. We can return to it by way of our normal work with the Accounting Officer at a future date.

The second issue is the medical card review while the third relates to a number of issues: WIT, a particular land swap, the State Pathology Office and payments to the director of the National Gallery. If Members have anything further to add to the findings and recommendations on any of those reports they may do so now. I ask the clerk to go through those.
