Go mbeannaí Dia dhaoibh. Cuirim fáilte rómhaibh uilig. Apologies have been received from Deputy Ó Caoláin, Senator Bacik, Lady Sylvia Hermon, MP, Mr. Mark Durkan, MP, Mr. Pat Doherty, MP, and Mr. Eddie McGrady, MP. I remind members and those in the Visitors' Gallery to ensure that all mobile phones and BlackBerrys are switched off for the entire duration of the meeting. Even on silent mode, such devices cause interference with the recording equipment used in committee rooms.
The minutes of our meeting of 19 November 2009 have been circulated. Are there any matters arising? If the answer is no, are the minutes agreed? Agreed.
