As we have a quorum, I will commence the meeting in public session. Apologies have been received from Deputy Nash, Senator Clune who is in Strasbourg, Senator Norris and Senator Walsh who is away on business.

Draft minutes of the meeting of 26 September have been circulated to members. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. Unless there are any matters arising from the minutes, we will proceed with the main business of the meeting.
