I welcome everyone to our meeting this afternoon. We have apologies from Deputy Cormac Devlin.
The question is that we approve the minutes of the private and public meetings of 31 May and 1 June 2023. They were approved in our virtual private meeting, but we must do this for procedural reasons. Is that agreed? Agreed.
I will read out some formal notices. I remind Members of the constitutional requirements that they must be physically present within the confines of the place where the Parliament has chosen to sit, namely Leinster House, in order to participate in public meetings. I will not permit a Member to participate where they are not adhering to this constitutional requirement. Therefore, any Member who attempts to participate from outside the precincts will be asked to leave the meeting.
