No. 6 pertains to the 2013 allocations for public expenditure, Finance Vote group. I welcome the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan. I advise members that a briefing paper has been prepared as part of today's presentation.

I remind members, witnesses and those in the Public Gallery that all mobile phones must be switched off and if phones are not switched off, I will ask those to whom they belong, whether members or observers in the Public Gallery, to remove themselves from the committee room. Members, including the Minister, are reminded of the long-standing ruling of the Chair to the effect that they should not comment upon, criticise or make charges against a person outside the House or an official by name in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. I call on the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, to make his opening statement.
