The only business today is an order seeking the joint committee's approval of the sectoral plan, 2012 edition, prepared by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in accordance with section 31(6) of the Disability Act 2005, which was referred to the committee by Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann on Thursday, 28 March. The order has been circulated and members will have received briefing material prepared by the Department and a link to the sectoral plan. I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Alan Kelly, and his officials to the meeting and invite him to make his opening remarks.
