The first item is to elect a Chairman. May I have nominations for the Chair?
Election of Chairman
Clerk to the Committee
I propose Deputy Michael Ahern.
I second that nomination.
Clerk to the Committee
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Deputy Michael Ahern took the Chair.
I thank my colleagues from Cork for unanimously selecting me as Chairman. Besides having all those Cork fellows we also have with us a Tipperary man. Perhaps it is a sign for the future that Cork is finally taking over.
