Apologies have been received from Deputy Browne. Deputy Pádraig MacLochlainn is substituting for Deputy Matt Carthy. Before we begin I remind members that in the context of the current Covid-19 restrictions only the Chairman and staff are present in the committee room and all members must join remotely from elsewhere in the parliamentary precincts. The secretariat can issue invitations to join the meeting on MS Teams. Members may not participate in the meetings from outside the parliamentary precincts. Please mute your microphones if you are not making a contribution and please use the raise hand function to indicate. Please note that messages sent into the meeting chat are visible to all participants. Speaking slots are prioritised for members of the committee.
The topic for this morning's meeting is a further meeting on the removal of the Irish control plan for weighing of fishery products after transport. The joint committee previously engaged with Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority on this matter on 11 May 2021.
