I request members to ensure their mobile phones are switched off. Apologies have been received from Deputy Quinn for whom Deputy Upton is deputising. The Deputy is welcome to the select committee.
Today's meeting has been convened for the purpose of consideration of the Consumer Protection Bill 2007, which is back from the Seanad. I welcome the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Martin, and his officials to the meeting. It is proposed, subject to agreement, that we sit from now until we conclude consideration of the Bill. Is that agreed? Agreed.
