As we have a quorum we shall begin our meeting in public session. We have received apologies from Deputies Alan Kelly, Mary Lou McDonald and Joan Collins. Members are asked to ensure that their mobile phones are turned off for the duration of the meeting as they interfere with the sound system. I now propose that we go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.
