The Chairman, Deputy Moloney, is delayed and has asked me to chair the meeting until he arrives. Apologies were received from Deputy Gormley. The minutes of the meeting held on 22 September have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed.
I propose that the committee goes into private session to discuss the correspondence received.
The joint committee went into private session at 9.36 p.m. and resumed in public session at 9.41 p.m.
