I invite members for nominations for Chairman to fill the vacancy caused by his resignation.
Election of Chairman
I propose Deputy Dinny McGinley.
I second that.
I have an outstanding rapporteur amount. We agreed I would finish a project at the last meeting. May I submit an application for €1,500 to do so?
Yes but it will be processed by an administrative section in due course.
Excellent.
I congratulate Deputy McGinley on his election as Chairman.
Deputy Dinny McGinley took the Chair.
I thank everyone.
I look forward to working with our new Chairman. The previous Chairman created a positive and serious reputation for this committee and it is now in the safe hands of Deputy McGinley.
I thank the Deputy and I look forward to working with every member of the committee. I know that a standard has been set and I shall do my best to adhere to it.
The joint committee adjourned at 4.20 p.m. sine die.
