We have received apologies from Deputies Hoctor, McEllistrim and Enright and Senator Tuffy, respectively. I suggest the joint committee goes into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters before we meet delegates from AONTAS, the National Association of Adult Education, and the Department of Education and Science to discuss developments in adult education and related issues. Is that agreed? Agreed.
The joint committee went into private session at 9.35 a.m. and resumed in public session at 9.40 a.m.
