We will not need to worry about being in a room. It will be a briefing. Senator Boyhan said that there was an informal briefing from the Department. That will cover it.

We have five minutes left. The minutes of the previous meeting contain references to the subject matter we discussed in the context of our next four meetings. Obviously, this has changed. As legislation comes, that will change and we will need to adapt to it or try to get extra meetings. The SHD legislation, the Land Development Agency, the latent defects issue, the Minister providing an update on the programme for Government and homelessness were also mentioned. We are bringing in Home for Good and other agencies. We will write to them and they will be slotted into the second meeting. Do we still want to proceed with those objectives and start writing to the witnesses that have been suggested?
