For example, we might meet UCC in the morning and CIT in the afternoon. As mentioned by Deputy Cullinane, there are a lot of issues arising in terms of the UL reports which might require two meetings. I have a special interest in meeting CIT because I am focused on that area.

On the Courts Service, in respect of which the Chairman mentioned correspondence this morning, we need a specific as opposed to a general discussion on the wards of court issue but we could touch on the issue during our meeting with the Courts Service. We previously touched on the wards of court issue in terms of families having no information in regard to what is going on with funds and so on but we need greater focus on that issue.

The two other areas on which I would like to focus, if possible, is the fair deal scheme and the alleged €700 million in pay owed to consultants.
