We will commence the public meeting. Are the minutes of the private session of our previous meeting agreed? Agreed. The next meeting will consider the Supplementary Estimate for the Department of Tourism and Trade at 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday next.
Some weeks ago Deputy Molloy raised the question of the use of Irish and translation. Due to the staff situation at the moment, it will not be possible to make the necessary arrangements in this area; there is no financial provision for it. Deputy Andrews raised the question of Bord Fáilte. It is agreed representatives of that organisation will attend the committee in the New Year, subject to agreement with the convenors.
We will commence Committee Stage of the Organisation of Worktime Bill, which has been referred to the committee by the Dáil on 15 January. The report on the Salmon Management Task Force is also scheduled for 15 January.
