Joint committees meet on a fortnightly basis. The working group of committee Chairmen will allocate a particular time slot when each committee will meet. Members will be duly informed when the decision is taken. I suggest we request to meet at 10.30 a.m. on Wednesdays. Is that agreeable to members?

That time would cause a degree of difficulty as it is the time at which the Taoiseach answers questions in the Dáil. Is another time slot available?

What about Tuesdays?

I propose that we go into private session for the remainder of the meeting. Is that agreed? Agreed.
