No. 1 on the agenda are the minutes of the meeting of 28 February, which have been circulated. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. There are no matters arising.
No. 2 is correspondence. The first item of correspondence is a letter dated 29 February from the chairman of the Institute of International and European Affairs, Mr. Brendan Halligan, about the institute's climate change working group. This letter conveys an offer to brief the committee on its analysis of the climate change challenges facing Ireland. Is it agreed that we note this correspondence? Agreed. I suggest we invite Mr. Halligan to come before the committee to address us in his capacity as chairman of this group. Is that agreed? Agreed.
The next item is an article by the Danish Prime Minister, Mr. Rasmussen, published in the spring edition of Europe’s World. Is it agreed that we note this correspondence? Agreed.
The next item is an invitation from Trócaire to its annual lecture entitled Tackling Climate Change: Whose Responsibility? on 10 March at 7.30 p.m. in St. Patrick's College. Is it agreed to note the correspondence? Agreed. Anybody wishing to attend can do so. Trócaire will be one of the groups coming in to speak to us at our next meeting on 19 March along with representatives of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government climate change communications group. Members will recall they offered us a trip and we agreed to invite them here first.
