Business of Select Committee

Clerk to the Committee

As the Cathaoirleach and the Leas-Chathaoirleach are unavoidably absent, the first matter today is the election of a temporary Chairman. I now invite nominations for the position of temporary Chairman.

Deputy Peadar Tóibín

I nominate Deputy English.

Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh

I second that.

Clerk to the Committee

I declare Deputy English temporary Chairman of the committee and call on him to take the Chair.

Deputy Damien English took the Chair.
