We have a quorum and no apologies have been received. The first item on the agenda is the election of a Vice Chairman and I call for nominations.
Election of Vice Chairman
I propose Deputy Michael P. Kitt.
Are there any other nominations? As there are no other nominations I deem Deputy Michael P. Kitt to be elected Vice Chairman. I look forward to working with him and congratulate him.
Is there a formal seconder? No.
I look forward to working with the Chairman, perhaps for a short period.
I thank the Deputy. I propose that the committee goes into private session to deal with housekeeping matters before resuming public sessin. Is that agreed? Agreed.
The joint committee went into private session at 11.45 a.m. and resumed in public session at 12.10 p.m.
