Before I call Deputies Patrick O'Donovan and Ann Phelan, I would like to clarify what I said earlier about the problem of telecommunications interference. The Chairman suggested that RTE had said the problem of interference could prevent it from reporting on our proceedings.

While RTE has assured us that it will continue to report, it is concerned that people will find it more difficult to follow proceedings due to interference and this will affect the quality of the recording.
