Just before we conclude things, we had a proposal from Deputy Darren O'Rourke, which our committee has agreed to. Arising from Senator Tully's questions about the ETBs and the responses from the witnesses, can we get agreement to find out from the Department of public expenditure the history of how this arrangement - the disparity between those on ETB central contracts and those on local school or board contracts - came about? Is there agreement that those two actions be followed up by the secretariat and that the correspondence be circulated to all members? Is that agreed? Agreed.
