As the Chair and the Vice Chair are unavoidably absent, the first matter today is the election of a temporary Chair. I now invite nominations for this role.
Business of Joint Committee
Clerk to the Committee
I nominate Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú.
I second that.
I third it.
Clerk to the Committee
Is that agreed? Agreed. As there are no other nominations, I declare Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú temporary Chair of the committee and call on him to take the Chair.
Deputy
Ruairí Ó Murchú
took the Chair.
