Apologies have been received from Deputy Olivia Mitchell who is attending a plenary session of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Draft minutes of the meeting of 24 September 2014 have been circulated to members. Are the minutes agreed?
Business of Joint Committee
I thought I had given my apologies. I asked Miriam to convey them but perhaps she did not pass them on.
The Senator is present.
For the last meeting.
We will amend them if the Senator gave his apologies.
I gave instructions but I cannot guarantee that it-----
We will amend them for the record.
I thank the Chairman.
Unless there are matters arising from the minutes, we will proceed to the main business of the meeting.
