This meeting has been convened for the purpose of allowing the select committee to continue with its consideration of the Tribunals of Inquiry Bill 2005. I welcome the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy Dermot Ahern, and his officials.
I wish to seek the agreement of members with regard to how we will dispose of the Bill. Is it agreed that we will continue with our deliberations on the Bill until 5 p.m.? We will obviously suspend the proceedings for any votes in the Dáil.
