We will commence the meeting. We are in public session. I have not received any apologies. Deputy Penrose will be substituting for Deputy Burton today. The committee will be meeting representatives from Fórsa, the public service union, who have sought a meeting with us to discuss the tax relief on trade union subscriptions. It will be one of a series of committee engagements in the coming months to advance budget 2019 and examine the various budget options. Before we commence our meeting with them, we will go into private session.
