I hope the joint committee will be able to meet at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, 29 November, which is a difficult time, especially for members who have considerable distances to travel.
Business of Select Committee
On the proposal to invite the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, for a discussion on the national planning framework, will this be done immediately?
We will contact the Minister.
Will we consider inviting representatives of the Atlantic economic corridor task force to make a presentation on the Atlantic economic corridor?
We will invite the relevant individuals.
Will we invite officials from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to discuss TEN-T funding?
We must prioritise our meeting with the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, because as a careful reading of the national planning framework will show, it is a ticking bomb.
The meeting with the Minister should be the first meeting. The other meetings will follow over a period. I expect we will have a more efficient member in the Chair at our next meeting.
The select committee adjourned at 12.10 p.m. sine die.
