The meeting will proceed. The meeting has been convened to allow the select committee to consider the Revised Estimates for Vote 20 - Garda Síochána, Vote 21 - prisons, Vote 22 - the Courts Service, Vote 23 - the Property Registration Authority, Vote 24 – the Department of Justice and Equality. A briefing has been circulated to Members. I welcome the Minister, Deputy Shatter, and his officials.
We will begin with a brief opening statement from the Minister, followed by comments and questions from Members. With the agreement of Members, I suggest that we stick with the Votes and deal with them one at a time, in sequence, and that we focus on the Votes. While it might be attractive to do so I urge Members not to deviate from the issues at hand, namely, the Votes and nothing else.
