We have a quorum of six members, including one Teachta Dála and one Senator, and will commence the meeting. Apologies have been received from Senators Eamonn Coghlan and Ó Murchú. I propose that we go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters before going public. Is that agreed? Agreed.
The committee went into private session at 2.24 p.m. and resumed in public session at 2.34 p.m.
