As we have a quorum, we can begin our meeting. Apologies have been received from Senator Fintan Warfield. We will now go into private session to deal with housekeeping matters.
Business of Joint Committee
The joint committee went into private session at 1.41 p.m., suspended at 2.01 p.m. and resumed in public session at 2.08 p.m.
The first business on our agenda is our approval of the minutes of our private and public meetings on 12 and 13 July. They have already been approved in our virtual private meeting, but we must do this now for procedural reasons. Are they agreed? Agreed.
