It is our decision on a case-by-case basis.
I wish to make a further observation. We have three other items of correspondence - I believe I received some last night or this morning - regarding Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board, KWETB, that have not yet been circulated. A number raise important legal and procedural issues and some that I have seen are potentially libellous. I propose that we ask the secretariat to liaise with the legal adviser and prepare a proposal for us for next week. I was not happy to circulate the correspondence. Some of it refers to High Court proceedings. I want to obtain advice. The secretariat will revert to us next week with a proposal on how to handle the various items of correspondence that have been received - some of it from members of the ETB - by me, the committee or members. We will deal with the matter next week.
