We have received apologies from Deputy Mary Lou McDonald and Senators Colette Kelleher and Frank Feighan. Members are asked to ensure their mobile phones are turned off for the duration of the meeting because they interfere with the sound system. I propose that we go into private session to deal with housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.
