At the request of broadcasting services, I must ask Members to ensure their mobile phones are switched off. Apologies have been received from Senators Averil Power and Diarmuid Wilson.

I note one item of correspondence, a notice from the Journal Office advising of Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor's discharge from the committee and the appointment of Deputy Derek Keating in her place.
