As we have a quorum, the committee is in public session. Apologies have been received from Deputy Bailey and Senators Butler and Higgins. I welcome the witnesses to this meeting of the Joint Committee on Social Protection. I remind members to ensure their mobile phones are switched off or put into flight mode. I propose to go into private session to deal with several housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.
The Joint Committee met at 10:00 a.m.
