The first item on the agenda is the election of a temporary chairperson. I ask for nominations for the Chair.
Business of Committee.
Clerk to the Committee
I propose Deputy John McGuinness.
I second that proposal.
Clerk to the Committee
Are there any other nominations? No.
Deputy John McGuinness took the Chair.
As the Tánaiste is not available until the Order of Business has concluded in the Dáil, I recommend that we suspend the meeting until that time. Is that agreed? Agreed.
