The election of a Vice Chairman is the second matter on today's agenda. With the agreement of members, I propose that we might decide the matter today if there is only one nominee. If there is more than one nominee, I propose that their names be submitted to the clerk and we will deal with the matter in public session at the next meeting. Is that agreed? Agreed. Do we have a nomination for the position of Vice Chairman?
Election of Vice Chairman
I would like to nominate Deputy McAuliffe.
If there is no second nominee, Deputy McAuliffe will be selected for the position of Vice Chairman. Is that agreed? Agreed. I congratulate the Deputy on his nomination.
We will go into private session to deal with correspondence and receive a briefing from the officials on a range of issues, starting with the Covid-19 health and safety requirements.
The joint committee went into private session at 1.05 p.m and adjourned at 2.50 p.m. until 11 a.m. on Tuesday, 6 October 2020.
