We have received apologies from Deputies Mary Lou McDonald, Catherine Martin, Joan Collins, Fiona O'Loughlin and Alan Kelly. Members are requested to ensure that for the duration of the meeting their mobile phones are turned off as it interferes with the sound system. I propose we go into private session to deal with housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.
