We look forward to having them in next week.

On 30 May, the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board will be before the committee in relation to the 2022 financial statements. Representatives of the Department of Health and the HSE have also been invited to attend.

On 13 June, we will engage with the OPW in relation to Vote 13 – Office of Public Works. The following areas have been flagged: the proposed national children's science museum project, flood relief schemes, vacant properties in the OPW portfolio, modular housing for Ukrainian beneficiaries of temporary protection, and non-compliant procurement. Last week, a query was raised about whether the OPW or the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is responsible for the expenditure regarding modular housing for the Ukrainian beneficiaries of temporary protection. I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to clarify that matter.
