Apologies have been received from Deputies Conlon, Scanlon, Blaney, O'Dowd and Quinn, Michelle Gildernew, MP, MLA, Mark Durkan, MP, MLA, and Lady Sylvia Hermon, MP.
I ask members and those in the Visitors Gallery to ensure their mobile phones and BlackBerries are switched off as they interfere with the recording equipment, even when switched to silent mode.
The first item is the minutes of the meeting of 25 June which have been circulated. Do any matters arise from them?
