We are in public session. Apologies have been received from Deputies Ardagh, English, Kelly and Sherlock and Senator Ned O'Sullivan. I ask Members to switch off mobile phones to ensure the vibrations do not cause broadcasting and transmission to be adversely affected. We will now discuss housekeeping matters in private session.
