I have received apologies from a number of members, including Senator David Norris, who we hope is making a speedy recovery, and Senator Jim Walsh, who is attending the OSCE parliamentary assembly meeting in Baku.
The first item on the agenda is the minutes of the meeting on 25 June 2014, which have been circulated to members. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. Unless there are matters arising from those minutes, we will proceed with our main business, which is a meeting with H.E. Mr. Dan Mulhall, Ambassador of Ireland to Great Britain.
