Election of Chairman.

The first issue is the election of a chairman and then we will go into the work programme. I will take nominations for that position.

I nominate the Acting Chairman, Deputy Moloney.

I nominate Deputy Neville.

I do not want to oppose that. Like Deputy Neville, I have an interest in this matter. I met representatives of a group some months ago and promised that I would——

Deputy Neville is president of the Irish Association of Suicidology and his work has won awards.

I am aware of that and I do not want to oppose the nomination if Senator Browne intends to pursue it. I appreciate Deputy Neville's position and he is aware of that. However, I have an interest in this issue and I would welcome the opportunity to display it. Is Senator Browne proposing Deputy Neville for Chairman?

I second Senator Glynn's nomination of the Acting Chairman.

In that event, I thank members and I hope we can do business in this sub-committee.

Deputy Moloney took the Chair.
