Seán Fleming: We have been in touch with all the institutions and it is now a matter of confirming times. However, after three meetings on third level institutions, the committee will want to move on to other topics.

Seán Fleming: I notice in the schedule that there is a two-week gap between meetings over Easter. We will meet on 13 April and then 4 May. The Dáil will be off for that period, but there is nothing stopping us from having a Thursday meeting. The committee does not have to skip almost three weeks because of the Easter recess. We will certainly take Easter week or whatever it is. The dates in...
