The Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2013 was referred to the select committee by order of the Dáil on 28 November 2013. I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation with responsibility for research and innovation, Deputy Sean Sherlock, and his officials to the meeting. I refer members to the grouping list of amendments for the purpose of debate. As indicated in the list, amendments Nos. 2 and 3, in the name of Deputy Dara Calleary, have been ruled out of order. We will now proceed to our consideration of the Bill.
