I wish to agree the line-up of guests appearing before us on 2 May.

In the morning, session A, we have Professor Spratt of the children's research centre in Trinity College, Dublin and in session B we have representatives from Super Troopers and Food Dudes.

Will anybody from DEIS be coming in because we heard a lot about intervention today. That is a key piece for me. Have we considered DEIS at all?

The Department of Education and Skills will be coming in the second session on 16 May. Perhaps we can notify it that we will require some information on DEIS and what it is doing to push that. Is that okay?
