I apologise for the slight delay in commencing our business today. Apologies have been received from Deputies Nolan and Jim O'Keeffe, and Senator Feeney, the latter two of whom are involved in the Committee on Article 35.4.1 and who hope to join us later. Apologies have also been received from Senator Jim Walsh.
The first item is the nomination and election of a Vice Chairman. Is it agreed that we deal with this first? Agreed. I invite nominations for the position of Vice Chairman.
