My next duty is to seek nominations for the position of Vice Chairman.
Election of Vice Chairman.
I take this opportunity to congratulate you, Chairman, on your new position and to wish you all the best in the years ahead. I know from experience that Deputy Barrett will be an efficient Chairman. As he said, hopefully this committee will not be political. It concerns the important subject of climate change. I propose Deputy Dara Callery for the position of Vice Chairman.
Are there any other nominations? If not, it gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Deputy Dara Calleary as Vice Chairman.
I thank Deputy Aylward for proposing me and I look forward to working with you, Chairman, and the rest of the committee. Everyone is agreed that we have one hell of a challenge facing us over the next five years.
