Chairman

First, we have an apology from Deputy Monica Barnes who is unwell at the moment and cannot attend. This is the last meeting before Christmas and we will take item No. 2 first. Could we agree the date of the next meeting. Is it agreed to sit at 11.30 a.m. on 10 January 1989? Agreed.

One other item: are we continuing until 6.30 p.m.? There is a vote in the Dáil at 6.30 p.m. Do we finish when the bells go for the vote? Agreed.

We move now to amendment No. 27.
