Due to the absence of a Cathaoirleach and Leas-Chathaoirleach, I now invite nominations for a temporary Chair.
Election of Acting Chairman
Clerk to the Committee
I nominate Deputy Carey.
I second that. There is no better man for the job.
Clerk to the Committee
Is that agreed? Agreed. I now call Deputy Carey to take the Chair.
Deputy Joe Carey took the Chair.
I am afraid I have an issue with my voice today.
I would like to rescind my nomination.
I think I would rather someone else sat in as my voice is very bad. Would Deputy Crowe mind taking over?
I have to attend to other business but I can chair the meeting for a while. Perhaps we can rotate, if members are agreeable.
I propose Deputy Crowe.
Clerk to the Committee
Is it agreed that Deputy Crowe take the Chair? Agreed.
Deputy Carey kept that quiet.
Deputy Cathal Crowe took the Chair.
