Clerk to the Committee:

Due to the unavoidable absence of the Cathaoirleach and Leas-Chathaoirleach of the committee, in accordance with Standing Orders 93 of Dáil Éireann and 79(3) of Seanad Éireann, I call for nominations for the election of one of the members of the joint committee to perform the duties devolved upon, and exercise the authority conferred upon, the Cathaoirleach by Standing Orders for the duration of that absence.
