As we have a quorum I wish to call the meeting to order. I remind members to turn off their mobile phones when attending the committee meeting. Apologies have been received from Deputies Josepha Madigan, Catherine Martin and Fiona O'Loughlin and Senator Paul Gavan.
It was agreed at our last meeting on 17 April that I would Chair this meeting. I propose that we deal with private business after the public business. Is that agreed? Agreed.
