Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Is it on 18 January or 19 January? I should just like confirmation.

In respect of a matter I raised in the House on two previous occasions, the Committee of the Regions is an important entity and a decision has to be made by Government. I have raised this twice before and spoken directly to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Gormley. Obviously, we need to move on with this. Arising from the local elections result in June, the committee should reflect increased representation from my party. This is a matter of considerable importance and I should like if the Taoiseach could come back to me today, if possible, in this regard.
